Need 45P cabinet plans

Got it together today maybe over engineered haha but its solid, glued and screwed with 5x70mm screws.

Counter sunk all holes then quick sand down, will try get all holes filled tomorro then another sand.

I am not going to attach any type of hinge just going to use 2 magnets to hold door then can remove whole door easily.

I am going to gloss inside when painted but how can i achive a smoth gloss white on outside just use normal water based gloss ? To thick to roll thats all.

And need some oppinions on some adjustable feet.

Thanks dean

I just drill a pilot hole then use this tool below thats called counter sink to sink screws into the wood.comes in most drill sets, done a littlebit today sanded down then filled a bit more.

Whats the best gloss to use for paint any recomendations ? Going to use white gloss.

Thanks dean

Getting gloss on today, i must say mdf was much easier to work with, the ply has lines in were top layer came off and doesnt look as smooth and also mdf easier to sand.

I was hoping the gloss would make it looks smother but hopefully looks better after few coats.

2nd coat on still some imperfections but good enough still going to do 3 coats inside and out.

I’ll suggest Seachem’s Stability information page, also follow the Discussion link under Support and do a Forum Search
I’m choosing the Seachem product version in my response as there is considerable discussion available 🙂

Some people seem to have success with it (Seachem rep tends to recommend it only when also adding fish, as opposed attempting to use this product to cycle an aquarium absent fish) - much more so than some other branded products

I always encourage combining any product of this sort with daily water changes 😉
(and not overstocking)

Of course, I’d just buy more plants 😛

I was thinking i used water based paint or not much oil in it anyway you think i sould paint with oil based over the top ? Dont plan on it getting soaking at all or you think will be fine ?
