Plastered walls. Would you know what brand paste can be used for size as solvite says you cannot.

I bought ready mixed wallrock power adhesive but it tells you not to water it down so what can I use to size the walls.

I bought zinsser gardz to seal bare plaster but will I be able to use retail emulsion over the top as it's all shiny and looks like pva when dry.

On some walls there were small patches of paint that cracked like it's been painted over pva so if you took a combination shavehook and scraped the cracked paint you could see the whole wall looked like the paint was dry and flaky and sitting on the plaster. I have a few old tins of emulsion and...

I've removed a failed mist coat from my bedroom walls so I've been reading different forums on what's the best way to paint bare plaster and a lot of people said to give the bare plaster a coat of acrylic primer undercoat before the chosen colour but is this the best method as some people said...

I've also seen people say give 2 mist coats. I watched a video where they said they used trade matt at 70/30 but when they painted it on the wall it looked like skimmed milk so they gave it 2 mist coats. If you ask google it says to use a 70/30 ratio. I've watched a few decorators on youtube do...

When doing a mist coat why do people recommend 50/50 if the tin says 9 parts paint and 1 part water. I contacted Leyland and they told me to do what it says on the tin.

The tv don't have a switch so I have to put it on standby then turn it off at the socket.

She is in the same room as the router but about 15 feet away. I've taken the chromebook upstairs in the bedroom above the router and the signal stays the same and the only way to get a full signal is to be 1 foot away from the router. The router is sat next to the tv in the living room as this...

Since changing to now tv for fibre broadband the wifi signal is not very good on my daughters chromebook using either 2.4ghz or 5ghz so can I use a powerline and pass through adapter for my daughters chromebook then use the 2.4ghz channel for my computer.

If I was to use plasterboard how would you fit the architrave. If I fit the architrave how it was before then I would have to try and match a piece on the header to hide the joint. Then if I don't do it how it was before then I would have to blend the plasterboard into the wall.

The hole closest to the ceiling with the board in.

The council boarded where the old water tank was in the airing cupboard but they made a mess of if so I took it all off to redo but what's a better way of redoing it. When they fitted the architrave they couldn't get the piece with the red line to match with the uprights so they cut the end at...

How would you remove the burr using the Norton India oilstone.
