You can touch up the area or paint the whole thing again with undercoat after you sand it. Then apply one coat of gloss. If it hasn't 'covered' then give it another coat of gloss.

It can be very difficult to remove woodchip but it will come off, the best thing to use is a steam stripper. Once the woodchip is removed the walls with have to be prepared well before re-painting. Plenty elbow grease required!! :D

Yes P.V.A is an adhesive, you will get the right stuff in D.I.Y stores then you need to thin it to the recommended level before applying.

I would say the the only way to get a perfect finish would be to: 1. P.V.A the ceiling and walls. 2. Fill and tape all the joints with 2 coats of fast set and 1 coat of 'finish' (this needs to be done perfectly ie professionally). 3. Sand the whole lot 4. P.V.A ceiling and walls again 5...

The best (and qiuckest) thing to use is a thin coat of P.V.A which can be rolled on.

You have 3 options: 1. Use a steam stripper to remove it - this is messy and is not really recommended as some consider the 'fumes' from the Artex to be dangerous. 2. Fill over it - coat it wih PVA, then use a ready mixed filler to smooth over it, sand and then coat again with PVA and...

It is possible - You should coat the ceiling/walls with a thin downed coat of PVC sealer first then apply the filler, when it is dry give it another coat of PVA. That said, if you could get the woodchip off it would be better.

Personally I hate artex, so I would be happy with a skimmed ceiling, but if you really want artex then you should be entitled to have it.

IMO Purdy make the best brushes for emulsion paints, they are expense but are brilliant and don't wear down as quickly as normal brushes.

:lol: Or even William Anka

You cheap skate gcol! :wink: I said it was a long story, more of a boring story really. This has been my nickname for a number of years now, it started when I was a kid and we used to play computer games. The name I would always put in to the score table was STU MAC, but as I WAS podgy my...

I just think that if you get a whole days worth of rolling for 80p that's not too bad. gcol, it's a long story :wink:

First post for me. Buy the disposable gloss rollers, they come in a pack of ten for about £8. So it is only costing you 80p per roller and just throw them away and the end of each day, for the cost of 80p it is not worth cleaning them out.
