wot a load of cobblers.. Eggshell is a coat on coat system... unless drastic colour change,, then one unders and two eggshell/satinwood.. wish peeps would give their practical knowledge instead of googling.

Can't add much apart from the use of stabiliser. If the surface was sound and not dusty and you apply stabiliser this will be like painting on glass and is a common cause of flaking/ bubbling masonry paint.. though i would'nt think it would blow render. regards john

Steer clear of with profits. When I went S/E in 1984 I was conned into setting up a £50 p/m ppp. its gone up and down but the last three yrs have sent my pot down and worse when the 22p tax was reduced to 20 p this meant i was paying extra £12 p/m to stay static..(it all went in a black hole...

Have you tried bleach? I use the thin houseold bleach 22p a litre. make up half water and bleach and apply with a nylon bristle brush, using a scrubbing motion. It usually cleans up quite dramaticly. Or. You can get expensive antimould wash which also has bleach innnit :wink: Sometimes though...

Hmm interesting that. Thanks for reply.. I fiddled this after and come to conclusion the dvd hdd has to be on all the while if you want to catch something quick/pause live tv etc. It takes ages to swop from tv to dvd thro hdmi cable. Then sometimes switching dvd off turns tv off too ...

yes mate.. solvent based is what we call oil based. Good luck

yes matt is the best. Regarding cleaning; I forgot to write ; If you get a damp rag and just apply a little 'ciff' and very gently wipe over the finger mark taking care not to rub hard or u wil buff the paint and it will shine. sometimes works.

polvine good stuff but pricey. the matt will still give a very slight sheen. may be better to just keep some of the paint and touch up. The matt emulsions usually touch up well. Or go for a soft sheen? The expensive dulux diamond (allegedly) matt paint has quite a shine. I find soft sheen...

What are you putting it on? bare plaster or pre painted surface? Pre painted ; I usually thin a little to help flow out, with trade paints we can thin more. Depends on surface etc...

I think your asking; can I paint pink bits white the same as surrounding white? Tricky to find a shade of white to blend with surround.But spose you did find white satinwood blends, then just paint into the grooves and carefully wipe any excess paint off the surround with a white spirit soaked...

And to get that potato we had to use a pnuematic breaker to get it out the frozen ground....... :)

I used the wallrock v easy. But was dissapointed when I painted with emulsion and the paper furred up, similar to raised grain when usin waterbased on bare wood. Left an unatractive texture which was a ****e to sand. But it did cover over some cracks which dont don't show 2 yrs later. Not used...
