Those undertaking their own waterproofing can not provide a subsequent purchaser of their property with a warranty of their work which is only required by law if they were waterproofing for profit, as a business. Tradies always laugh at these DIY TV shows because very often they see the wrong products / incorrect techniques used, hence my buyer beware AND, my strong recommendation for using professional applicators! x KL KLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763689950705543241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375731844728833206.post-16516922368864123732013-06-26T09:17:44.193+10:002013-06-26T09:17:44.193+10:00Ah...this is a big question.

Oil based, enamel paints are far more durable than water based varieties therefore more suitable for arcs as they are there, and designed to, take the knocks and bumps instead of the walls. The old enamel paints were notorious for yellowing over time, especially the pure whites but the newer formulas aren't as bad. Over time (10 - 20 yrs) they will yellow but you'd probably need to repaint before that anyway. Most shutter companies 2-pac their products and polyeurethane is less likely to discolour HOWEVER our Aussie sun is very powerful and will discolour most things you leave exposed to it over time. Carpets, timber flooring, plastic, leather, fabric and unfortunately shutters. x KLKLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763689950705543241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375731844728833206.post-76067236036896784912013-06-25T22:36:21.610+10:002013-06-25T22:36:21.610+10:00Good advice darl!

I think there is a great deal of DIY waterproofing here in WA but we just don't know about it so much. You should find out from Bunnings why they are aloud to run that course in an hour ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00937616081379784921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375731844728833206.post-74691492473527978092013-06-25T22:02:38.803+10:002013-06-25T22:02:38.803+10:00KL, what sort of paint would you recommend for woo...KL, what sort of paint would you recommend for wood plantation shutters? Oil or water based? We went with water based for our architraves, doors and skirtings because we didnt want them to yellow... But how durable is water based paint? The shutters will be exposed to a lot of sun light so I am a bit paranoid... But at the same time I don't want them to yellow either :(<br /><br />BB is building a househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883589546962723038noreply@blogger.com
