Hi need a bit of advice on the above. My back lawn was pretty bad with moss and weeds and lots of pockets of worn grass. So I applied a lawn feed with moss and weed killer. After 14 days I then raked all the moss and weeds using an electric lawn rake. This left me with practically soil in...

dcdec cheers, I think I would be more comfortable sanding back and starting again. Would you use a sanding block or a scraper to do this? You mention thinned emulsion, what do you mean exactly? sorry for basic questions but my lack of decorating skills is nil. Dave
