That is pretty much what I do. I also use the Purdy brush comb which really helps. Once I dip it in water before painting again, the bristles do go back to how they should do. In the past with other brushes I'd dry them with a rubber band around the bristles, but Purdy do say not to do that.

What do you do to stop the Sprig from fraying outwards when drying? Only my Sprig does it, but my regular Monarch Elite XL's don't suffer from this.

Meths helped, looks like my brush will be ok. Do you find the Purdy Sprig gets some bristles sticking out, but further up from the tip? I have a few, thinking of cutting them off.

I'm using a Purdy Sprig too, I've been dipping it in water as I go. Thanks I will try meths later.

Just an update to this thread. I've been using the Aqua Guard now and I like it. It goes on and flows like a solvent based paint, but I don't get the easy runs and curtaining which the runniness of the Dulux Diamond gives. The only gripe I have is that for a water based paint, it's quite...

Was covered in my fees paid to Thames.

Buy a scale ruler and do the drawings using that.

Dealing with local councils, I don't envy them.

Oh yes I see, a microwave combi, yes it's not a full sized oven.

Well I can't imagine why you could only cook one pizza at a time, I can fit more than one in an oven.

Not to worry, I'm sure we can sharpen the content.

Well it looks as though you've drilled down some of the things to consider.

Well I suppose there's another angle to it.

At that price I'd probably chuck the idea.

Use the board with insulation on the back. You can get polystyrene backed which I did in my porch as I didn't want to bring the walls in too much, but if you have the space, you can use the foil lined celotex backed plaster board. I screwed mine into the walls, then filled the holes and painted...

Yes, they are required and organised by Thames Water, you just need to tell them as soon as you've 'built over', then they'll organise the second survey.

Wouldn't worry about it, as screed is rarely level, usually dips in the middle. Last one I had done, I poured self levelling latex over the entire floor.

About 7 years ago, the invert level was 450mm and the pipe diameter was 200mm. I know they charge different amounts for different pipe diameters, why I do not know as they're not the ones actually doing anything.....

Yes, I've done this with Thames Water. Mine wasn't as big as yours, but cost around £600. I did the drawings myself to save money on those. TW required me to have 300mm clearance around the pipe.

In the RAF, two junior ranks were and always have been LAC and SAC, Leading Aircraftsman and Senior Aircraftsman. They've been renamed now, to remove 'man' from the name.
