Check the yellow coloured phone directory - Industrial & commercial guide and the green book or the online green book. This Nippon & ICI are the common paint, can said to be better quality in the market. I had bought other brands in my course of work like Seamaster, Asian paint, Causeway, Kangaroo, Tiger, various brands of aerosol paint and special order paint use in the construction of steel structure. ICI use to have another range of paint - the auto paint, avaliable in 1 litre can, no sure is it still avaliable in the market. Maybe you check with Chye Seng at AMK. You may like to check on Asia paint and Long Quan web to try your luck, maybe the PU paint is suitable for your use

One alternative to fasten lock on alumn. window grille is to use countersunk machine screw if you don't mind the unsightly nut.

Your tap is stainless steel or stainless steel plated? Most tap is made by method of casting. thus the quality is different from those 304 or 316 grade. I bought the 'P' brand close $100/-, the quality is so so only. As for Autosol, this is a cream, more or less greasy, if you did not wipe is well enough, you can see finger print too. Maybe after using Autosol, wash it with dish liquid detergent,

Application of adhesive to paste high pressure laminate is to use a small pc of laminate with 'teeth' In furniture manufacturing industry, adhesive glue should be the only use to paste high pressure laminate which is commonly know as formica. Popular use of brands of glue are: Lam chuan & Tiger. Others are Deer, Elephant & Globe etc.

Its the same for my tower rack.. and the worse is, i didnt notice it until it was installed. Im going to try the 3M S/S cleaner.. let u know if it does resolve it. Im wondering does those cleaner for Automobile actually will works.. so it forms a shield and prevent watermarks and stains from forming If your item is not stainless steel, there no point to waste your oney to get the 3M cleaner which is around $16/- a can or the genuine Autosol which is $4.50 Most towel rod is chrome plated unless you buy from shop specialise in bathroom accessories..

Maybe yours is not stainless steel, its just chrome finishing like the hanging pipe in your wardrobe. Use a pc of magnet to test it. Metal and brass can be electroplate to get the BA and Hairline finishing like in stainless steel. It can also be nickel plated that one thinks is stainless steel as in spacer and in chrome finishing as in those supermart trolley.

anyway to prevent the water marks? U should know. Either no water on it or dry it.

Stainless steel won't rust easily, it can last you many many years. Nowsaday, you see stainless steel panel for the lift, railing in HDB common corridor, in food court etc. Those that rusts fast should be chrome finishing as in dish rack, mesh shelving, the hanging rod in your wardrobe is one good example. Zhiz's 3 items are all stainless steel of 304 grade. No need to keep dry to prevent rust or use special chemical to maintain it.

glue it back together with adhesive glue - contact cement glue, the one where cobbler use to mend shoe.

It is most probably because the material is timber that absorbed the paint giving your a more rough surface. If you observe closely, those decor door and those knock down coffee table in painted finishing is normally compressed wood or mdf board, not the solid timber. Since you have the gloss paint, maybe you try what I think it might work.

Any Recommendation On Tempered Glass Door(for Kitchen Onli)
gladyslim replied to Brenda's topic in Carpentry Works
$700/- for pc of tempered glass for the standard door size is cheap if is 10mm thk. Can share the contact? -
use scraper to scape it off, brush it or sand it clean before applying the new coat. for a neat work, use masking tape on both side of the grout, use a pc of laminate to remove excess silicon. For the use of the silicon holder, read the information on the packing if any. There is a '7' hook, rotate & pull it up. Once open, u hv to finish the silicon, it turn hard within a short period.

Try Kim Men at Blk 3 AMK Ind pk

You can order at retailing hardware shop. Flexi-laminate does not have the plastic lamination, it can be rolled up before pasting onto wood, just like pasting wall paper. I think only jenings carry this, it is called '软皮‘ Pasting of laminates is not easy for both thin or thick sheets. For the high plastic laminate, you hold onto the top & bottom portion bending it little when pasting it onto the wood. Best to place a pc of unglue laminate in between the two pcs so that you can align it better and to reduce more air traps.

The dim ension of high pressure laminate is normally 1220mm x 2440m x 0.7mm thk. Higher price for thickness of 0.8mm & 1mmthk , special colour and the special print like birdseye or the s/s hairline finishing which cost not less than $100/- a pc. There are soft laminate in 0.5mm thk that can wrap round edges whereby you buy in per ft run. Seng Lee or Lam Chuan's quality is not bad.
-
You need to use thinner to dissolve the adhesive glue. For laminate, there are Lam Chuan, Seng Lee, Evershine etc which has the less than $20/- solid colour laminate. It is not easy to apply the glue and to paste the laminate. In Industrial practice, we normally dumped away incorrect fabrication to save cost unless its a minor problem.

I ever enquire about scaffolding at a rooftop for a 1 week construction of metalwork project. It seems that scaffolding company is not interested in minor project.

try garlin and Huat rubber at Blk 101 towner road you can also search under alumn supplier www.teckcheong.com

Steel sheet normally comes in 1220 x 2440 or 1524 x 3048mm Since you need small pc, I pm you a place to get try. Only 1mm or 1.2mm thk mild steel sheet, the edges is very sharp, you need to file it yourself.
-
What dimension, material you need & where's your location. I think EG plate and galvanised sheet is better as it has a layer of etching but the glavanised sheet is not that easy to paint with. Stainless steel and aluminium won't attract magnet.
-
Just to share: Stainless steel won't rust easily. Restuarant kitchen, wet market stall and food process industry use stainless steel wares mainly in grade 304. Those handrailing seen along the coastal is 316 stainless steel becos seawater is salty, the 304 material will rust easily. As for the bare steel, I think you are refering to cold rolled sheet or the black coloured - mild steel sheet.

The product itself has no problem. It is better to install it after the completion of whole house washing. You only need warm water with dish detergent for cleaning it.

S/s can be polished to what you want. I can teach you how to polish, you need polishing pad like the scotch brite for 1st item as it is in hairline finishing. For the other 2 items, it is BA, i.e mirror finishing, you need power drill and the polishing wheel. You can get the pad at certain hardware shop, as such, it is better to send it for polishing. www.everwin.com.sg - abrasive, - hand pads

note that if you are apply to existing... you need to re-surface it using sandpaper before applying stain again. then lastly the lacquer or varnishing for protection. Just to share the difference between shellace and wood varnishing. I don't think it good to diy varnishing the dinning set as in industrial, we use power sander and air-brush for a good quality job. Its good to try on small item like stool but not for the dinning set.
