I went on the hunt for some special primer, this stuff sticks to just about anything, and is ideal when surfaces like Laminate and melamine have to be covered.
The first place I visited was Repcolite, the supplier that the professionals use. I looked around but all they had was a spray and a gallon can at over a hundred dollars, uh, no thanks.
Then I decided to visit Ace Hardware, a smaller DIY store that I found to be a friendly place. I was not disappointed, as soon as I entered someone leapt to my assistance.
It was a good job I knew exactly what I wanted because I could have been intimidated by their enthusiasm. They had the tin size I wanted, and, they had a gallon size at over thirty dollars cheaper than the previous place.
But I like this place, and to show my appreciation I even bought a square edge shovel to work on our landscaping project that hopefully we can start at the weekend.
Now I had the primer, I set about preparing two matching side tables ready for Kelli to paint.
I did a bit more stripping on the bureau, it really has been painted badly, it’s not going to be a quick job.
