Painting from the bucket is where your problem is, New plaster should always be sealed prior to painting you colour of choice. generally modern plaster is ready to paint when completely dry, around 5-7 days as you said but when more than 1 coat has been applied it could be longer. You said you...

I have a problem with a gas cooker. The fuse in the plug keeps blowing. I have tested all that i can and was wondering how i would go about testing earth faults on this cooker and other electrical items in general. Thanks

Hy all, how do i test for earth faults. I have a very good quality tester which will test volts amps and continuity. Thanks for your help

Did you check the amount of suction in the wall first? If there is a lot of suction you should have bonded the wall with neat pva glue and left it to dry completely then just prior to plastering applied a 5 to 1 mix of pva and water and waited for it ti get tacky then start to skim with...

I have a tester and have started from the begining. It is a all gas cooker and the fuse pops when i turn either the oven ignition on or the grill ignition on. If i change the fuse and plug it in again the clock appears to be working fine until i use the oven or grill. The oven power is on the...

Sounds like you didnt bond the wall with pva glue first. This isnt required all the time but it is good advice when new to plastering to apply a 5 to 1 mix ( 5 pva to 1 water) to the walls prior to plastering especially if you are to skim over old plaster. New plaster will not stick to old...

I have a parkinson cowan alto gm60 built in gas oven and until yesterday all was well. Every time i switch the oven or grill on the fuse blows in the plug. I have dismantled some of the cooker and have found the ignition wire to the oven is in poor condition. I removed that from the ignition box...
