Thanks. So is that a no to use ceiling emulsion on the wall I have with black? Here's a pic...

I've also got a small wall with black matt paint. I was going to use my matt ceiling emulsion on that (also Leyland). Would that be ok instead of undercoat?

Will do...cheers!

do you think that after 4 coats of undercoat I'm okay to start with the top coats?

That was before I started painting. It's now had 4 coats of white undercoat.

Hi All, Four coats of undercoat so far using Leyland white primer and undercoat and a Two Fussy Blokes mini roller sleeves and I can still see the previously painted black wood surface a little. Is this normal? Do I now call it a day and start painting with the top coat (Leyland Multi Surface...

Soft close seems a lot more expensive. Really don't want to spend like £100 or more on hinges. Do Blum do a non-soft close alternative?

Thanks. Do you have a link to the right hinge at all?

I took the doors off earlier to gain access to a screw going into the ceiling. Wish I didn't. All the doors are now out of skew and I'm too stupid to work it out.

Why?

Thanks. Yes, they are 35mm cabinet hinges . These https://www.screwfix.com/p/eclipse-99016-steel-105-concealed-hinges-64mm-2-pack/536kw Sorry to confuse by saying 100mm

The doors are around 19mm thick. I would say without checking in too much detail that the doors have warped slightly but not to the extent that if I push them closed and hold my hand there that they close all the way. Just need something beefy enough to hold them closed that's easy to open too...

No. Mags are nowhere near strong enough. The doors are quite heavy and as they are warped a little need something quite strong to hold them closed.

Hi All, 25 years ago we had a chap make some wardrobe doors and carcass for my daughters bedroom. The doors are around 2m tall by 0.6m wide each and are secured to the carcass by 4 cabinet (100mm) hinges per door. Over the years the doors have warped slightly and the hinges moved. As I'm...

Thanks again @Wayners . Do I do this before I've soaked the new lining paper in wallpaper adhesive?

Thanks @Wayners for the reply. I'm a little confused though so maybe you can advise. As I intend to cut through both this new lining paper and the old with the idea of removing the old paper for the new one to take its place, how can I do this given that the old lining paper is thick and a...

Hi All, Decorating my daughters bedroom and in a few areas the lining paper (under two coats of paint and two layers of wallpaper!) has torn. I've bought a roll of Erfurt red label 1200 grade lining paper. The largest area I may need to put this on is around 30cm x 30cm. Do I paste the back of...

OK. I'll leave well alone then. Thanks.

I should add that I intended on sanding down with 120 grit sandpaper before painting too unless that's really not needed?

Hi All, Here's a picture of a couple of hairline cracks on a wall that needs painting. My hand is in the picture to give you some context of size. When I press the crack I can see the paint move...it's very slight but noticeable. I don't want this turning into a major job so is there a quick...
