Gonna go buy a few lottery tickets for Tuesday's $944M jackpot. The level of pleasantry will depend on my winning.

An expensive but very pleasing purchase:

It is brilliant on machined MDF, first coat got sucked into the fibres as expected, second started filled the majority of the voids, it sand like polyfilla with 180 grit.

After sanding, the beaded moulding looked fabulous, almost as good as the machined Tulipwood I’ve got, I reckon the third coat I’ve just finished putting on, once sanded with 240 grit, will have it ready for undercoat then top coat.

The cheap sandpaper on a roll I got from Toolstation is shite though, clogs / wears out swiftly with this paint / MDF.
