After experimenting with different quantities of the Nutshell natural pigments we finally got around to applying them today. We've protected the front door with Osmo UV protection oil which has also enhanced the natural grain and colour in the wood. For the softwood frame we've applied the same oil with a mix of black and ochre brown Nutshell pigments and, with some suprise I must admit, the result is great and looks almost indistinguishable from the oak door. When you consider it only took half a hour of playing with the pigments to arrive at the right colour mix I think this is what you call a result. Very satisfying as well, certainly beats choosing the right colour off a paint chart in B&Q!
Work installing the insulation carried on today, but with a new secret weapon. A friend mentioned in passing that he'd used an electric carving knife to cut foam in the past...so we've borrowed the carving knife and it has made light work of cutting the Non-itch slabs. Bear this in mind if you want to install Non-itch and make sure you have an electric carving knife to hand, after all who uses them to carve up meat anyway!?
