Malcolm, have you come across this excellent product from Mirka ?

You buy a hose and an adapter that plugs into your vacuum cleaner. Sucks up all the dust as you sand, saves the abranet clogging up and the dust scoring into your workpiece. Brilliant bit of kit.

small pop up tents are really cheap .. you can spray small pieces like this inside without worry of wind, rain or flies :-)

And, I"m sure you won't, but make sure you use a proper mask and eye protection.

I've been masked all the time I've been sawing, routing and sanding.

I have 16 inch a side triangular pieces of plywood with a screw point sticking up an inch or so in each corner which I use for spraying panels on.

With the panel face down resting on the spikes I paint the back but not the edges. when the back is done turn the panel over so the painted (back) side is on the spikes. now spray the front face and the edges. I then pick up the panel by the triangular plywood and move it somewhere to dry. gets the whole door done in one go and almost no risk of runs such as you would have hanging the panel vertically. The dots from the screw points on the back are almost invisible.

I'd suggest you hand paint the bare mdf with a mdf primer and sand it back if you haven't already.

rightly or wrongly, I use the Gerson Mask with double cartridge and pre-filters .. rated for 2 pack paint, and I use it for everything .. wood/mdf/paint ....

My theory is, if it filters paint fumes, then wood dust should be caught too ???

I paddle about in MDF dust all day every day

also have the odd bit of MDF smoke from the laser cutter ..

so the mask is more or less a permanent fixture :-(

along with the radio ear defenders .. tuned in to the hifi .. that has the TV/Sky/Freeview/dvd/media player/video...... running through it :-) :lol:

I use small blocks with a nail through in a similar way, except they can do any size.

I'd paint the edges with both sides .. so they get done twice ! .. they soak up more paint.
de-nib after touch dry.

I generally give 5 coats total for a good finish (water based) .. with 1/2 to 1 hr between coats (with a desk fan blowing on it) .. then let it dry over night

Very nice indeed. Is the colour match as good as the photo? I cant see the difference btw.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Thanks, Andy and Robert and Tusses

The colour match is pretty damn good, not exact, but you need the commercial one right next to mine to see the difference. The other difference is that the commercial one is a very flat matt, and as this is sprayed satin, they reflect light slightly differently, but that's me being picky. My client, Mission Control, is well pleased and doesn't want me to add any more coats and then flatten!

Thanks, Mark. I have a butcher's block table planned using stock recycled from the previous kitchen worktops and doors, beech and cherry, with the bamboo left over from the worktop of this kitchen. It's going to be my mobile bread making station!

My client asked for a lower blanking plate to be added, and then we agreed that the outer groove detail should also be added to match detail elsewhere on the cupboards and drawers.

Now she's even wellerer pleased!!!
