...not that I have noticed, though I haven't taken it out to inspect...

...no problems at all. There is still a space all the way down as I measured each length and pushed it down the exact distance required, so no bunching. Short lengths worked better due to friction. i.e. trying to push down an 8 foot length was near imposible. Also, once in they expanded and...

...genius...just found this thread on a 'search'. The hand over the mixer tap for a minute or two worked a treat... thanks :D

thanks - I'll give it a wipe down... :oops:

Dear Experts...in true DIY fashion I have used one coat of PVA 1:3 water to 'seal' newly skimmed plaster and THEN read the general forum advice not to do that. I applied it with a roller. So, is this a disaster waiting to happen?, do I need to remedy this or do a just carry on now with a coat...
