I skimmed over part of the wall next to a door with easifill on an area about 20cm x 90cm because it wasn’t level with the door frame. Its a bit softer than skim so I was wondering if there is any way to seal it against moisture and toughen it up a bit before I paint it?

Is easifill and sand it not a good idea?

What do you reckon?

This is what I mean about the difference in the mixes I applied. The patch on the left went powdery at the edges, the patch on the right is hard and dark right up to the feathered edge

Well, I havent worked that out yet. i was going to finish it with easifill, so i can do it bit by bit and sand any mistakes off. But maybe I’d be better off learning to skim with multifinish… a stair winder probably isn’t the best place to learn to skim though I’d guess….

Nothing! I don't really understand why the analogue dial is at its minimum value when the digital says 1.5 bar. Could one of them be faulty?

So I’m building up some areas under a badly formed stair winder with bonding (actually thistle undercoat) , after scratching and then putting dilute PVA on the existing surface. This to have gone OK in most places but the last lot I did, although I swear I mixed it the same consistency, hasn’t...

Pretty sure i haven’t

Difficult as he’s a subcontractor for an insurance company. It takes weeks or months to arrange anything through their chain of command and they won’t give out subcontractors numbers. At this point I’d rather fix this myself , The plumbers they’ve sent just seem to leave me with more problems

So I just had the heating system drained by a plumber to replace a UFH mixer valve, he filled it back up and left in a hurry. I ran the heating to see if it worked OK and noticed all the radiators upstairs were only half full. I turned the heating off and bled them. I tried running the heating...

I’m replastering a stair winder, having hacked off some bits and built up other areas with bonding, there are some areas that I initially used easifill on that I’d like to add another inch or so to. Can I apply bonding over the easifill, or should just build up easifill layers slowly? Or should...

I have what I think is an oak threshold, had some dark stain which I just sanded off. I bought some Osmo UV protection oil (clear) to treat the front door, but would this also be suitable for the threshold? its under a porch but is still exposed to the elements

Do i need to put metal lath in it or anything to strengthen it?

Thanks, will bonding be ok a couple of inches deep in one fill? And then easifill to smooth it off?

I need to hack off high spots under a stair winder. I've begun scraping off parts of the finish layer through to what I think is the bonding layer, which seems more crumbly. Would it be ok to just put easifill over the exposed bonding to repair and flatten the area, or does it need finish over...

could I just key the area and fill it a couple of inches deep with bonding and then a thinner layer of easifill to get it smooth? or would that be too heavy

How deep, and what am I looking for?

I’ve already said I dug down a bit and a few cm have rotted from the inside of the sleepers.

What do you need to see? I can’t really show you much more without digging up my garden. The wall is not visible from inside my property, only the top edge of it
