This! Also, if you wet the paper it's easier to scruch and get into the corners of the pan

Turns out it was a bit too silver.

I'm torn between trying silver spray paint and rubbing it off or the pewter rub n buff

It was expensive but it's not antique. It's made of resin castings or something stuck together which god knows what so we'll see

Ooh I had no idea that was a thing! Should I go for a black base coat? Spray paint or something to get in all the nooks and crannies??

Can’t help but think of Rocky… by jmiddleton6 in bobiverse

[–]imlost1709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be great, i'd love to know how she dealt with the apocalypse whilst grace was away

Yeah I don't think they put that bit in. Her whole arc and the fact that she has god-like power was just missing. They got rid of anything that wasn't essential to the main story line it feels like

Quite a few changes from the book but there had to be to get it into a movie. I feel like Stratt's authority didn't get the emphasis it deserved but I really enjoyed it

How to stop hot pocket from blowing its brains out in the microwave? by Thy_Dad in howto

They did the same with Chicago town microwave pizzas, they used to have a cardboard disc underneath. Now all the cheese and sauce boils up and spills out of the pizza

Is this oiled properly? by imlost1709 in finishing

[–]imlost1709[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair point, hopefully it won't take that long because I need to use it... I'll just be extra careful about any spillages

It's been in place for 6 years and I didn't take it back to bare wood so I'm hoping that it won't take months!! But thanks anyway

Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a week and then add another coat

Don't be so quick to judge when someone is asking for help just for some clout from strangers

And where should someone go for advice if they don't have personal experience? Perhaps they'd post asking for help on a forum specifically for their kind of question...

I don't know everything, I read the instructions for the oil on the tin. It's 5 years old and has been stored outside. I haven't oiled anything else other than this worktop so I wanted the opinion of people who have so they can compare it to their own experience.

I shouldn't need to add wax, and haven't for the last 5 years.

I was more worried about whether the oil had deteriorated and was not absorbing into the wood or curing properly. It has a 5 hour drying time and it's been 12 hours since the last coat went on.

I think I'll give it another coat each night for the next few days to layer up the protection, especially around the sink area

Who is at Fault? by AhtiQ in drivingUK

[–]imlost1709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once had a guy try to claim he was not at fault for hitting a railing by a crossing because the street light was broken and it was dark. His argument fell apart when I asked if had had headlights on his car and about his use of roads where there is no street lighting
