Re:

Well ... I can find bugger-all about fishpaper on the internet other than what a good product it is! nothing about its manufacture. So I guess its just another way of keeping organic fibres bound in an organic glue, a kind of artificial wood, anyway. Bother. I wanted to find out how it was made. Us...

Re: Advice needed - patching sanded-through top
