Mouldings for stacking & hand finishing.

... finish of my choice over that. This method was first suggested on this forum by Prospero. (Thanks for the tip Peter!) On the same subject, our new Mainline rep popped in this week and showed me a new range of some very nice art-deco style polcore mouldings with multiple stepped scoops. To be honest, ...

That gives us 96 different styles. (Check maths ...

Don't use Polcore much these days as I rarely could make up a minimum order with Mainline mouldings but it is OK if you choose the right profiles with the flat ones being the best to join neatly. I think Wessex are finding their way with Polcore and our local branch ...
