what kind of paint can i use on my cats?
my daughter tessa and her boyfriend baz want to make a funny animal film clip for tv and win £250. however they need to paint spots and stripes on some of our cats i.e. black stripes on our white cat everest so she looks like a zebra, black stripes on our ginger tom o’mally so he looks like a tiger etc. what would be ok to use emulsion or gloss as baz said he can get some off his painter friend neil.

What can you paint woodwork in that doesn't completely stink?
We have a lot of woodwork which needs painting in our house.
I did some glosswork yesterday and the smell made me feel incredibly sick. It doesn’t help that I’m 6 months pregnant either (and apparently shouldn’t even be using gloss)
What else can we use that won’t smell so bad?

Painters and decorators? Help please?
Hi to all you painters and decorators out there. Can you help me with some advice please? I have rubbed down, filled and rubbed down again my front door. I have today given it a light coating of undercoat. Should I rub it down again (lightly with say 240 grit sandpaper) before I apply my top coat? I will be using a one coat gloss paint. Or do I just go ahead and slap the top coat on and not worry. I did a good job of sanding it down in the first place and the door was as smooth as a baby’s bottom. Any useful hints and tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
