Petrol mower problems.

[Retired]

Hi,

Thanks Refugee. I too used a room as a workshop for many years this room being one of a two roomed extension to the rear of our bungalow; it never really got hot during summer and during winter it was a nightmare with windows icing up on the inside; I used to resort to doing veneering and French polishing in our kitchen. It would have made a better fridge than a workshop. Then I stopped restoring vintage radios and turned it into a woodworking workshop installing a Jubilee lathe I had bought. Using the Jubilee once was enough to convince me the workshop was useless it just not being big enough and no room for extraction so I moved the lot into the garage. Now I have problems getting into the garage without receiving a soaking? The garage/workshop also houses the car so in bad weather which it usually is the car remains dry inside the garage preventing me working in there.

Both creosote and cellulose are still available Robin.

I bought my Creoseal (Creosote substitute) at the above website but with hindsight I should have bought the old fashioned Creosote. Our local auto paint suppliers supply cellulose without any trouble in any colour together with thinners and fillers etc.

I dream of re-painting the exterior woodwork of our bungalow this year but I might be better off going round with a tar brush? The sun has just come out to have a laugh.

Kind regards, Col.
