I think these have been printed out on thick glossy rather than matt type paper but not photo paper,
so have been able to use PVA glue, I think your meant to dilute it but as its so sunny I’m just layering it on, putting out in the garden to dry and so far done about 9 layers,I also sanded down the wood pannel – so you may be able to sand the back of the pictures if the back is glossy ? but it might ruin them – have a google under decopague (?sp) there may be other people with more experience in this – I am also gonna varnish them after a good few more layers of PVA glue.
defo join us at shambala — it was lovely last year so fingers crossed this year will be even better :group_hug

(they not yet finished)
April 28, 2010 at 6:52 pm #1224187looks minted :bounce_fl:bounce_g: its a great idea to cover the doors like that . cheap and looks good , anything else in mind for the van ? i hope the building trade picks up soon so i can get back to work . gonna save up for a van , been looking about and i am surprised at the price of them , they hold theyre value really well . they are worth every penny tho , do you know any good sites for picking up vans? i have been looking on ebay which is o.k .

We looked daily on Gumtree, Preloved, ebay and found her on auto trader of all places! I think that was because the couple who sold her were in their 70’s and prob more used to dealing with this,
I was advised its best to buy ‘up’ north or Wales as people tend to have more land or able to keep them undercover
than in lundun,
and hope work picks up for you :love:April 28, 2010 at 7:51 pm #1224188keep up with the updates :love: its looking great .

having not known what your on about – I asked marcus
there is 12v on the leisure battery and with the hook up there is the propper plugs.

if you wanna use your straighteners, you can get a cheapy inverter that will run off the 12v battery… if its for something like straighteners you dont need a ‘pure sine wave’ one (which is a cleaner signal, and more expensive).
ask marcus :wink::laugh_at:

I’m thinking he wished I’d never brought her :laugh_at::laugh_at:
today we (jointly) put in the bright pink vinyl tiles at the back where I’d pulled up the horrid shitty dog smelling vynil they’d had, it looks rather …. err …. pink :laugh_at:
And I also realised I’d missed covering the back of one of the units – so got to do some of that tomorrow,
just got the other unit to cover with naked ladies – replace some of the carpeted bits, sort the bed and tidy her up and ready to rock n roll raaaraaaraaa
May 2, 2010 at 5:52 am #1224118naked ladies….ready to rock, sounds marvelous….
May 2, 2010 at 9:44 am #1224183raaa sounds good
May 21, 2010 at 5:34 pm #1224147nearly finished the cupboards, and finished the table and most of the curtains, and put down some pink vynil :bounce_fl

HAHA!
May 21, 2010 at 5:53 pm #1224161When I went to Arcaine festie, on the last day, this dude was showing his mate his new van and telling him how good it was and how much he liked it …
standing on the back bumper with the back doors open, all exited, bouncing up and down he shouted “I WISH I COULD FUCK THIS VAN LIKE A MASSIVE VAGINA!”
was classic :laugh_at:
