Well, including my CMS I think I'm using over 1,000 pounds worth of tables to paint some doors - must not drip... must not drip...
[attachthumb=#0]
One of the doors is actually a cut-down fireblanks (Fire doors made from solid blocks of wood), it comes in at just under 50kg... That's one heavy door !! (It starts at 8foot by 4 foot by nearly 2 inches - solid wood...)
This is the first time I've actually painted and sanded doors - using my Rotex and some Titan paper (180, 240... 320) with successive layers of Dulux Satinwood. What a difference !! After three coats and rollering on the paint - it's lovely and smooth... Not quite spray smooth - but not too far off...
Laying them flat means no dribbles ...
As I've been making a few doors out of fireblanks, I had a few strips left over - so, using my Domino, I was able to make another door up, sand it down - looks as good as a new now... Before anyone says anything... This door was not used as a "real" firedoor...
