On decorating my stairs and landing, I used some paint stripper ( nitro moors) on a couple of boards, following the instructions I scraped and then washed off with a nylon scoured. 2 days later and the boards are still wet. The boards are very old.
How long will they take to dry before I can sand?

Thanks for your advice, I will crack on with the hardcore.

Hello, I am planning on laying a few slabs and pavers in an area covering approx 3 square metres. I have excavated 6 to 7cm of soil and levelled and compacted the area. My question is do I lay 2cm sharp sand first before a 50 mm bed of mortar , or replace some soil and lay 50 mm bed directly on soil...
