    Rust spots on new plaster skim before painting

    the rust spots should be fine mate. the only problem with supermatt is its really for use on a building site or office block etc. it will mark very easy as its quite chalky. if you have any kids in the house who will touch the walls or animals that will rub up against the walls it will mark...

    Easi-fill preparation and painting

    sounds good mate. just remember the easy fill will sink in any big holes though and may need refilling. it also takes a while to dry if the holes are deep. use a very fine or worn sand paper on the filler so as not to scratch it, you`ll see what i mean if its too rough. you`ll get lines in the...

    Painting Laminate Kitchen Doors-please help

    only use a good quality brush for the eggshell, the zinseer primer will just kill any brush you use. so just use something like a decent brush from your local supplier as your gonna have to throw it in the bin after you use it. or get a pack of 3 acrylic brushes from your local wilkinsons shop...

    Polyvine Decorators Varnish (paint protection)

    to be honest mate, i`d take the soft sheen option. it doesn`t have much shine to it and it is wipeable . especially in high traffic areas. i used dulux diamond matt on my staircase and oil based eggshell under the dado rail and you can`t tell which is which, so the dulux does have quite a bit...

    painting mdf
