Builders PVA, same as PVA wood glue?

I bought 500ml in the pound shop, mainly because I needed the nice clean spout. Same consistency as EvoStik and the rest, but that isn't always an indication of solids content.

Why do circuit breakers go up for on and down for off?

In the 1920s you probably had to take the 2V accumulator (that powered the valve filaments) down to the local bicycle shop to be charged. Unless you had a cat's whisker...

French Windows

Best to contact a local cabinet maker or joiner shop, and ask them to make them for you. The price for a load of the amount you want may surprise you.

Epoxy Resin Dyes

Epoxy or polyester resins are both happy if you colour them with a small quantity of artist's acrylics, as purchased cheaply from any craft shop. Plenty of other suitable dyes too.

plain picture rail

Take a sample to a wood shop with a spindle cutter and get as much as you'll ever need made (the setting up is expensive and it's then cheap per metre)
