My beautiful tablecloths arrived today – thankyou Katherine they are gorgeous. Freshly washed and ironed thank your mum for me. I will enjoy displaying these around my home.
Thankyou to all those that left encouraging comments about my kichen makeover you are all the best. This is my secrt weapon Dulux “Prep Lock”. Now its all in the preparation and believe me I have spoke to heaps of people but still take advice from a lady in my local paint shop and she hasn’t been wrong yet. This is a prep lock (primer in otherwords) suitable in all situations especially glossy surfaces as a primer and sealer that locks in your top coat. Will help avoid scratches, chipping and dries in no time at all which is what I love. You can basically use any paint over the top of this and for my kitchen I used Dulux Full Gloss in Vivid White. I also used Prep Lock on my kitchen cupboards.
To apply is easy: make sure your surface is clean, apply two coats of prep lock and don’t be too fussy as it does cover really well. Once dry apply your top coat depending on what your covering like my kitchen tiles I have given them about four coats of top paint with a foam roller. Don’t be scared to use this product and if you have tiles to paint around the house I say go for it. I am going to do my bathroom tiles with this as well.

Thanks Sandy for sharing your secret weapon! I will definately be using it when I paint my tiles. Can I use it for floor tiles? xx

What lovely tabecloths you won Sandy.
Thanks for letting us know what primer you are using, it is always good to get some 'real advice' and not some marketing spiel that isn't true.

Cute table cloths!
There must be something in Dulux's pre-coat range I use a similar one when paining up pieces of furniture. Well worth every cent you pay for it.
