We have a Halford Store very near that sells everything for cars so I am sure I will be able to find some spot filler. <br />Thanks for sharing.onbeingaminimumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11176422732636109060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-32242120820723646932011-04-04T20:52:13.693+01:002011-04-04T20:52:13.693+01:00Hi Debbie, slow progress but each layer gets me cl...Hi Debbie, slow progress but each layer gets me closer to the finished exterior.onbeingaminimumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11176422732636109060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-22751869418956399952011-04-02T16:19:10.777+01:002011-04-02T16:19:10.777+01:00Love what you've done to the Bar Janice.

Go to the auto parts store and buy a little tube of spot filler. It is used for smoothing out small scratches and dents on cars. Put that into the miter joints you are unhappy with. Usually shrinks a bit so you will need more than one coat. When it is dry sand it smooth, paint to match. Perfect looking job! <br /><br />Not sure of the exact UK translation for this stuff but the guys at the store will know.Karin Corbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558132883050492387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-38569969529005146762011-04-01T21:50:04.434+01:002011-04-01T21:50:04.434+01:00Hi Julia, absolutely no apologies necessary.

Your bar is great, I love the way you have done the slate tile top. Your ginger moggie is wonderful too.<br />I will catch up on my reading of all your posts soon, I promise :0)<br />Julia xxxJulia and Hywelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132024429486051350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-34103604920436952902011-04-01T15:53:56.974+01:002011-04-01T15:53:56.974+01:00I'd raise it from the bottom too, if you don&#...I'd raise it from the bottom too, if you don't opt for the brass rail. Janice you can buy brass tubing, (you can buy tube benders etc from Minimum World) Maple Street sell it.<br /><br />I love Miss Sally World, and lucky enough to own some of her work.

And that cat's got attitude!<br /><br />Brass - some tubes of tomato paste (at least here in NZ) are made of very soft metal which is brassy on the inside. It's great stuff, it can be cut with scissors, incised with the famous tapestry needles, even sewn with a sewing machine! It might help. I have used it for the corners of Tudor books.<br />For a rail it could be wrapped around a skewer, maybe?<br />GlendaGlendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956249453834779477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-4011836965318261152011-04-01T00:56:15.572+01:002011-04-01T00:56:15.572+01:00The bar looks great. :) I like how you used the ti...The bar looks great. :) I like how you used the tile on the top of it.dalesdreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304656921813405064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-73794085738413500812011-03-31T23:44:52.252+01:002011-03-31T23:44:52.252+01:00Hmmm, a brass rail?
