I've had it ! Happened to me in 1984. All the staining came through on the flat thin parts of the paper after about a week.

Perfect, from ... The Dec. 8)

There you have it rustybolt. This guy thinks it's impossible :lol: Listen to Dec and Joe. You'll do good.

Very nice opinions but not the slightest bit of help as to what the original poster wants to do with 20 windows and 2 doors.

The only reason lining paper bubbles is because it's not been soaked long enough.

Joe has given you the best advice you'll ever get for your requirements here. It's an absolute dream to use - self undercoating - nice and thick - not ****y like other glosses so don't confuse it with them. Best paint on the market. Report back when you've used it. You owe him...

I s'pose Gem83 could just roll the radiator forward, paint behind, then roll it back. http://www.amazon.co.uk/DeLonghi-KR730715-Filled-Radiator-Wheels/dp/B000UVHZ2A It would save a lot of aggro' :D

I sit corrected. Can't stand Hammerite and don't like the sound of this stuff either. Myself, when I do a "sound" metal garage door same/ish colour, I wash/ abrade lightly , touch up and apply a good coat of Crown Solo gloss as it's self undercoating . :wink:

Nice to see a bit of experience every now and then.

Good old 20 questions. :lol: --Object of the game The Two Rules Rule #1: Questioners ask Yes-or-No questions Rule #2: Answerer responds with a Yes or a No --The two exceptions to Rule #2 "I don't know." "I can't answer." Animal, Vegetable or Mineral...

Until these lads get more info, you might like to try this...

10 inches long :shock: Now that's what I call a "curtain". You could put a pelmet round that one. :wink:

You're not happy are you? Some of the lads here may wish to get involved in this but what's important is , what does the finished job look like now.

You would be wise to consider lining first as well.

He might have done it because there was/is more undercoat than eggshell so he mixed it so's not to be short on eggshell. Shouldn't make the slightest difference to the top coat.

Don't get it. Can't see any reason for doing it as there's no gain. They didn't even buy the paint so it's not like they're trying it on with cheaper stuff, so what's the drama over it as long as it's finished in the eggshell and not the mix. Job's not finished.

This is what I mean Dec. How is this cutting corners?

Don't get this. How'a it cutting corners? What corners?

Lightly rub down with 400 wet/dry sandpaper. Buy a small tin of Zinsser bin, touch up over your knots with the bin and if they're severe, give them another, gently "feathering" them out to the edges then apply a coat of Crown solo gloss, over the top.

Odd. Buy a cheap damp meter.
