Thanks for the info Trudi. I'm afraid that $12 tape would not be cost effective. I am determined to keep this project inexpensive. Since I used oil based paint, I can't really use paint to make the tape adhere or I'd be scraping and starting over. I will just have to "deal with it". Too ba...

I've heard good things about Bondo, but haven't had occasion to work with it. Bondo is fantastic. I have been using it to repair wood for years. It is two-part and dries very quickly (sandable in no more than 20-30 minutes). They have it at Walmart in the auto section by the paint. Are you thinking...

New pics - Progress note - I could drive myself crazy if I tried to get the floor perfectly flat and smooth. I tried using some of the Floor leveling compound and was NOT happy with the results. I am much happier using Bondo - it is easier (for me) and can be sanded smooth very easily. Because of im...

I had great results with a small bathroom cabinet using Killz2 and Oil Based paint. I will definitely be painting my other cabinets. Prep + Patience = Success!

I am glad you guys cleared that up - please post you results. I've been wanting to do the same, but was scared off by what I thought was the price.

Actually that comes out to almost 20 of those buckets... yikes.

I believe that it takes multiple coats to get proper coverage.

Here is the BEFORE bathroom. Complete with carpet, wallpapered toilet and oh-so-elegant fake stained glass window! Also, the wood-grain-fake cabinet. http://mobilehomerepair.com/phpbb/userpix/1743_MH_14_1.jpg Here are the stripped / prepped / and Purple-painted walls. I have to admit I like it a lot...

Will post pics! I have been careful to get step-by-step of the floor so far (I'm really bad about remembering these). Last night I floated out some uneven spots in the floor with Bondo. Seems to be working fine. There was a guy down the street from my Dad who had a concrete driveway with a beautiful...

Forgot to mention - I also use a Brita pitcher for all drinking water - works great.

When I originally added an inline filter to my house I chose one that was made to take out ALL of the tiniest particles - not sure what the rating was. Unfortunately it also dropped my water pressure down so much that a shower was nearly impossible. I have since settled on a filter that looks like i...

Heh heh - I was impatient. Had some Bondo in the garage. started using it to fix some holes and some seams. Looks like it will be okay. Hope so anyway...

Wow Trudi - That's Bee-Yoo-Tee-Ful ! Looks like you really spent some time there. I think I am going to do the B-n-W checkers like the pic, maybe with a 1" black perimeter border. Just painted the Bathroom PURPLE - cause my wife said to - and it is fantastic looking. I also read that with th pr...

In order to continue with my bathroom floor project (painting it) I need to level out a couple of spots and fill some gaps. Would Bondo work or do I need something else? I am worried about flexing and cracking. If Bondo won't work, what do I need to use?

Here is a picture that inspired me:

After reading that my idea for gym flooring in a bathroom would not be recommended I started looking around at other ideas. I am on a real tight budget, but I am good with my hands. I am also a pretty good painter. I think that in my little guest bathroom I am going to try painting the plywood floor...
