Bauhaus supplies?
« on: August 02, 2012, 03:56:04 PM »
Here in Norway, I can't find any sources for things that should be very common for cabinet repairs:
  • Foam rollers (I have found 10 cm long, but I mean the bigger and longer type).
  • Wood filler
  • Wood hardener
  • Rust bath (not sure about this one, it just seems like the types you are using are better)
I guess it's mostly caused by that we're a country of few people (5 million) and the demand is very small, but it's depressing to not find these crucial parts for cabinet restoration.  >:(

But then I had a thought! There are two Bauhaus shops 500 km away, south in Norway. Do any of you buy your supplies from Bauhaus? Do you know the exact names and maybe part numbers for such items? It would help me a lot if I could call them with the "part numbers" or maybe get them to order it from Germany. None of the local shops in my town seem to have anything useful. :-[

For wood filler get what the Americans call "Bondo" but simply is polyester putty or filler. Any car supplies shop should have it.

Thanks! :) I have been looking at this:
http://www.biltema.no/no/Bilpleie/Sparkel/Sparkel-36052/

It says:
Quote
2 component polyester filler for repair of large dents and holes. Hardens in approximately 10 minutes. 1 kilo, with hardener.

Some people claim that it shrinks and cracks, but I guess this is close to what you are using?

Looks like the right stuff. Haven't heard about those problems before...
