Ok try 2 at my little DIWHY home repair. Figured out the paint colour. Its a Dulux natural white aquanamel satin finish (so go to Bunnings and ask them to tint it is what the Dulux guy told me). Then, ask for a small piece of timber or something I can stick at the back with some glue for stability and then rinse and repeat the putty process. Also get a 4mm mini roller kit for the painting. Got it. Peanut brain hard at work.

I'm thinking a couple of icypole sticks would probably work well for the wood support. You may need to eat a couple of icecreams to get them, a very worthwhile sacrifice.

Oh great idea! I'll try Bunnings and see if I can snag a freebie but if not will get the icypole. Probably will need 3 or 4 but not a problem!
