Hi
Our radiator developed a small leak the other night, and whilst it's all sorted now, I've noticed that we have a few water stains on the ceiling below the room where the trouble happened. That room had its ceiling last painted in around November 2005. So, I've a few questions...
1. Will we get away with covering the stained areas with a stain blocker and then white emulsion, or is it likely that you'll notice "whiter" areas on the ceiling? And if so...
2. What's the best way of painting a ceiling when you have nice wallpaper on the walls? Any time I've painted a celing before, I've painted the white into the corners, and a few inches onto the walls to ensure that the paint or wallpaper when applied to the walls won't expose any unpainted areas. This technique won't work too well when you have wallpaper on the walls, and I'm not sure I'd entrust masking tape to the wallpaper either.
Any ideas?
TIA
Phil
