  1. Have had to repaint a number of times after workers have thinned out really good and expensive paint when I wasn’t supervising. It’s maddening. On metal, rust will win out if not full coated in this humid climate. For your floor, If you’ve sanded or otherwise prepped the old or new wood deck well before, thinning is okay for first but not really necessary. I put 5 full coats of Begar Polyurethane 1k Suoreme on my deck with light sanding after 1, 2, and 4th coats. (2 coats on bottom of raised deck). Deck was made out of handpicked salvaged teak. I’m having to do most of the painting myself to get a decent job. Only a couple of guys followed my directions on how to brush without leaving brush strokes, feathering instead. Unfortunately, both were alcoholic and didn’t last, even after paying and helping one into rehab. Very sad situation here in Thailand. Sorry for the sob story! God bless them all.
  2. I went to Thaiwatsadu, Homepro, Megahome, Homemart, Home Sukkapan, and smaller places. The best I could do was one place had only the P trap with clean out and it was ฿350 just for that piece. I did my homework. Maybe this system was hiding somewhere at DoHome. After going everywhere else, I decided the odds were not good.
  3. Here's my info from your other post, just for those looking for this type of kitchen drain. Next to impossible to find in any store so I wanted to make this available. FYI for anyone looking for sink drain pipes that you can actually use, here's a link to Lazada. I could not find these blue PVC pipes anywhere in Chiang Mai. It's maddening! Everyone wants to sell a drain pipe "kit" that doesn't often fit the crazy plumber's drain locations where they come out of the wall. This one you can add or subtract to put it anywhere. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i4308264476-s17145557009.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1&tradePath=omItm&tradeOrderId=745221259300812&tradeOrderLineId=745221259400812&spm=spm%3Da2o4m.order_details.item_title.1

  5. Thanks for your input. “The boards are then treated for resisting pests and termites to make them more durable and stronger.” Thaiwatsadu says this in so many words as well as other sites for finger jointed rubber wood. They are compressed and kiln dried over days. This all may be hype but with my 3-4 coats of poly on all sides, I think I should be good. Time will tell, hey?
  6. I’m making an outside kitchen sink counter out of 3/4” laminated Boon Wood right now. It’s supposed to be rubber wood. I’m first staining 2 coats with Beger Decking Fiber Cement Wood stain, then will give 3-4 coats of Beger supreme polyurethane. Will I be okay with the Terminitors?
