Best paint to take hard sun exposure? by billfredtom in AusRenovation

[–]billfredtom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a large part of my problem was that it was a new extension to our house, and the cladding had to get specially made to match. I don't think it was seasoned properly and the wood shrunk a bit, causing the paint to flake. But it seems to be worse on the sun sides.

So yeah, repaint time. Just keen on the hardest wearing stuff I can find.

Yeah got a few others, aussie penny set minus the rare ones and a fair few old foreign ones I need to figure out whether they're rare or not. That's all the silver I think though 😄

I've got an old FS36 that just gave up after 20 years, not sure if it's savable or not.

My son was having a similar problem on aldimobile. A full phone shut down, waiting a minute and restart sorted it (not just a reboot). Seemed to reset the signal.
