Is the oil the best way to seal it was thinking of pva

 

[spunky]

dont have to seal it mate its up to you..........watch out the first time you use it especially in someones house itll be like an ice rink

What you've also got to think about is where are you going to put a spot board if your skimming a hall stairs & landing, a bathroom or a small kitchen. :
Chances are you won't be able to use one in these rooms on domestic work unless you sheet another room up. :'(

Other rooms you'll be fine

Same here mate but it seems a lot do use them, horses for courses and all that.

 

[beddy]

gorilla buckets are f**k**g awful. i've been using them the last few days due to constantly moving from room to room. they are s**t to carry, s**t to get the stuff out of and too f**k**g flimsy. as soon as ive got enough room for a spot i get it out.

 

[spunky]

trowhawks are good for gorrila tubs

 

[spunky]

T.R.O.W.H.A.W.K

 

[Nisus]

I just use whatever I need at the time,
sometimes a spot & sometimes work out of a bucket
Like I said you can't always use a spot & sometimes it ain't worth getting one out.

In cases like this what you really need is a tr.ow.hawk (like spunky says^)
they sell them up the rd from me.





10% commision for me please Jim

 

[nelly]

I keep meaning to order a jimfish hawk but allways forget, they are ideal for working out of buckets.
