NEWS? The latest advice, inspo and products for your next painting project What’s
New to the team Introducing Crown Paints’ newest Style Guide, Paul Murphy, AKA @phoneboxman. Known for his restoration of old Irish phone boxes, Paul’s also a dab hand at DIY and has used his skills to rework his home both inside and out. His latest project is this harlequin patterned bench (pictured) which was created using masking tape and a mix of Sadolin Classic All Purpose Woodstains (African Walnut, Light Oak & Natural) finished in Sadolin Polyurethane Clear Gloss Varnish.
HIT THE DECK Get set to spruce up your deck for summer. Sadolin has just launched two new products for timber boards; Sadolin Wet Wood Decking Stain, which as its name suggests, can be applied directly onto wet wood, and Sadolin Decking Oil, a new improved 2 in 1 formula which offers both protection and nourishment by replacing the woods’ natural oils. Available in a choice of colours, in 2.5L tins.
