chipps

I bought a Full Boar 80T 254mm diameter fine finishing blade. Difference with the old blade is chalk and cheese. I hardly feel it go through the material. I may need a new 40T as well.

So I bought a decent 80 tooth blade and realised... what a difference. After removing, I see my 40T has lots of chips on the teeth. The 80T goes through like butter and it joins up much better with a hairline. A bit of grey no-more-gaps helps to hide it as well.

Thanks all for the feedback and suggestions. Marc, I like your idea and this is the type of out-of-box ideas I was looking for. However, as I have cabinets with different depths, I cannot see how I can do this without it looking very odd. I have tried a mitre joint and also used filler in the join, but I just cant seem to get it right. I used no-more-gaps mixed with matched paint, but it looks messy. Uncle Bob - I am not painting them. They already have a finish on them and painting...

Thought I would update this thread. Most of the house in Wattyl Estapol 7008 and did the kitchen and dining area in a water based Bona Traffic HD. The Traffic HD went on well and nicer to use, but in comparison to the Wattyl Estapol (which has been down for almost 15 years), I can already tell the Estapol 7008 is much harder wearing than the Bona Traffic. The Traffic looked scratched in no time. In fairness, it is a lighter colour and I did use some Bona White on the floor before coating...
