Which means absolutely nothing but I wanted to be first... and perhaps
last.
Happy 10/10/10

| Subject: | Reinforcing Door Holes |
Hi
In a week or so my doors will go for painting. Before this happens I'd like
too reinforce the screw holes that attach the doors to the hinges. It has
been suggested that I use countersunk washers (which I will) held in place
with thinned epoxy.
I am not sure if this is over kill, but to protect the paint from chipping
and the washers from discolouring, I was thinking of putting a layer of thin
glass cloth over the washers first.
Has anyone done anything like that? Am I being a touch to anal?
Inquiring minds need to know.

I'm not there yet, but as a general rule if I use the Tinnerman
washers, I paint where the washer goes and then paint the screw and
washer separately. Wait until the paint is thoroughly hardened before
driving the screws tight.

Reinforcing Door HolesThinking the hinge on the door side shouldn't be
coming off for any reason, I recall I used epoxy and flox to attach the
hinge to the door, so the 4 screws are basically holding it in place but
technically the strength is in the epoxy holding the hinge and door and
the screws are reinforcing the bond. I'm having a hard time thinking how
the screws will fit the countersunk with glass over them. Also why don't
you just epoxy the washer on after spraying a self etching primer on the
washers?, paint them and there should be no reason that they would chip.
I have found, since we are using the same primer, that the DTM wash
primer has worked better for me with pieces than the 988 has however.
