Well over the last couple of days I've been mainly working on one of the curved wall units and finishing the window pelmets.
As with pretty much everything in this van these had been painted white. The cupboard was also a lot more delicate than I'd previously realised. A lot of the veneer had to be glued back on. On other flatter panels it would have been easier to have replaced with new ply.
With all the veneer glued back together and paint removed it was time to varnish. I'm using a varnish I've not tried before, a water based, satin varnish by Ronseal. This is quick drying varnish, touch dry in 20 minutes and re-paintable in an hour. This goes on milky but dries clear. This combined with great coverage and being able to just rinse your brush under a tap, makes it very easy to use.
An inspection of the other high level cupboards, has revealed that they are going to need considerable more work and the front over window may need completely building from scratch.
