Finally got a reply from Ryobi, it does in fact mean Park.

Good mate, hope you're also well. Good luck with the job :D

Back in the day, a door frame in my place had some unknown oil based product, like a polyurethane to show off the wood grain. I sanded it and went to paint it with water-based, and it literally split and some beaded! WTF I said. After cleaning up that little mess, thinking about it a bit, I then painted it with a 'modern' oil based undercoat, it stuck great, let it cure, then the water-based I wanted to use worked fine. Moral of the story - YMMV :)

I wondered this as well and called the dulux tech support line. The guy basically explained that yes you can put water over oil. The only reason its a slight issue is the gloss, the gloss doesnt let other paints adhere to it which is why the recommended sanding first (to give it something to grip to). But once the paint is dry... its dry, doesnt matter if it was oil or water based its now hard and inert so do what you want. I thought it had something to do with water and oil not mixing...

:2tsup: Hope you're well mate... Might see you again, your neighbour sent me her insurance claim so I'm awaiting a call from her brother.. Not sure how I feel about it :oo:

I can also back this up. I had Richard (Optimus) relevel my loungeroom late last year. He did a great job, reasonably priced, always punctual and communicated well.

Thanks mate, yeah 100% agree... Isn't it funny how people are more eager to post when they're unhappy as opposed to when they're happy. Thanks again gwicks.

Appreciate the feedback, mate. I have passed this onto the boys, as mentioned off-line.. Appreciation really does make it worthwhile. Give me a buzz when you're ready to reno the laundry and ensuite and we'll drop in to do the final adjustments.

yeah, you will have quite a bit of flex in it with people sitting on it depending how many.

If it's truly penetrating, it shouldn't have an effect on the surface's sheen level

Sheen is good (subjective :) ) From memory I think they produce a mat and semi gloss product.

This is normal as usually all floor cabinets are fitted before the floor is laid. Ive never replaced kickers on a tiled floor so just a thought to potentially make it easier/cheaper given insurance has failed to cover the job: 1. have the kicker boards cut short just below the top of the tile to enable an easier fit 2. You might be able to simply have the kicker boards cut to floor level without any real noticeable difference in the end result. Fit a small test piece to see how it...

Great job Optimus !! It's a refreshing change that somebody on here is praising work they have had done. And good job gwicks for taking the time to spread the word :2tsup:

Look up how3plaster online - has some info that helped me.
