Depends on what type of paint you used to colour them.. Oil-based paint will pickle if you sray it with clear laquer from a can..

Rub down with 100 grit (oxide paper) followed by two coats of eggshell as its 'self-undercoating'

I agree with you and Richard if it was my wall I'd re-plaster them myself too .. I just assumed from gille's post here in the painting & decorating section a cheap/quick 'decorators fix ' was sought...

True.. Try Tetrion 'all-purpose' or Easifill.. RedDevil 'Onetime ' is the exeption to the rule as far as ready-mixed fillers go though..

..Isnt that what he was asking for otherwise it'd be in the plastering section?

Two 1/2"layers - definitley not beyond the capabilities of Easifill on cracks illustrated by gille's photos... Obviously anything wider would require plasrteing :roll:

I use it on depths up to 1" but in two applications, approx 18-24 hours apart depending on drying time/temperature..Superb stuff :wink:

Easifill in two layers ... :wink:

You hav'nt bought the 'quick-drying' acrylic formula have you?

Where did you buy it? The Leyland trade undercoat I sometimes use is great stuff - second only to Crown in my opinion

Best to remove it & then youll more than likely need to lining paper the walls :wink:

Fill with Easifill or Tetrion ..Then Lining paper for a perfect & stable finish :wink:

All oil/solvent-based (white) paint will yellow after a while , even more so if theres no natural (sun)light in the room.. :roll:

Approx 30% :wink:

Youll need to re-caulk & paint.. Hopefully the woods gone through its shrinking stage by now :wink:

Ive never had a problem with it. Its no use in gaps wider than about 2-3 mm Make sure you buy a decent trade brand , not the thin stuff from a DIY store.

Jam a suitably-sized piece of wood in the hole just below surface level then apply a filler such as Tetrion or Easifill up to the wall level ..Once the lining papers covered it you wont know its there :wink:

try a heavy-duty wallpaper or artex stripping tool, the 4" type with replaceable blades :wink:

any from a trade store :wink:

Ha, nice one Nige! :)
