for toys

I've been looking for a TV cabinet for a while (not for a TV because we don't have one) for a toy cupboard. I found this one for a bargain but it needed to be painted our uniform colour before passing through the thresh hold of our living room. so for the past week Joseph has been working on it and on the weekend it finally got near enough to being finished to be usable.
In answer to your question about sanding. I never sand anything. What we use is Seal lock or B.I.N which is a very stinky oil based undercoat which blocks all varnish from seeping through. It's dry within 40 minutes and you have to throw the brush away it's that yucky But it saves endless hours and we use it on every painted piece and every door and base board.

  1. Do you fully sand down anything like that before you paint it? And if so, do you have a power sander, or does it just involve sandpaper and elbow grease?!

  2. Mom and Marilyn say, "That's great! Well done Abby! No wonder you've been quiet!"
