Hi gents

I have the cupboard at home. Will post some pictures shortly!

 

[dorsetchris]

excellent, can't wait ....Dormy m.o.t next wed btw, fingers crossed

Finally! Here's the cupboard. The dark brown section of the T trim around the door and cabinet top is 40 years of sun scorching and common to all these cabinets. Drop me a PM if you're still interested!

I will try to give it a clean in the next few days and may post some more pictures.

I have had some success in improving the dark brown staining on mine by rubbing down wih fine sandpaper then polishing up using cream cleaners etc. Tedious but quite effective - basically take the top layer off, and polish up the fresh plasic underneath...

can I just take the oppotunity to send a big thank you to Andy and Neil for helping me out with this, the cabinet is now in my bay and looking good, thank you both for your efforts )

Dickie524 ...thank you, I will try your method, can you tell me what grade sanding paper you used ?

 

[Fortunate Son]

Not a problem Chris. I have been done a lot of good turns on this forum before, it's good to be able to do a few back.

Cheers

Andy

Someone once suggested wire wool and a small amount of white spirit, test on an inconspicuous area at first

You're most welcome! So glad to know that these bits are getting used and not ending up at the scrapper

It was about 800 grit or finer I think. It did take ages though... :roll:
