Interesting tool.. Blurb makes it sound impressive.. Dusty and noisy tho? Make sure you use a face mask m8. Maybe a bit OTT? I usally clean off paste as I strip, the walls are wet then and only need to wet with flat of brush ,, scrub the (6") brush in a figure of 8 to whip up the paste, push a...

Allso perhaps: Don't forget to run a stanley knife along each edge before gently trying a wide sharp bolster, sometimes it cracks the profiles all long, tho other times it don't. Thats when I really use the bolster :lol: Good luck.

Going to stick to my last yrs resolution and continue to stop paying into my black ole of a private pension scheme.

Dipped in caustic soda maybe? Did something similar and encountered same prob many yrs ago. Made up some solution of water and caustic soda and mixed it with wallpaper paste. It works well with older type varnishes Button polish etc. (Not good on modern polyurethene) very messy and making...

When I paint bare artex my mist coat is thinned 50/ 50. Artex is very thirsty. The mist coat is left to dry properly. I usually get away with just one more slightly rounder (thicker) coat. How thin was your mist coat? From your first post I get the impression that your first coat was a bit...

You dont need to wait 8 days to paint over the 'bin.' What I was infering is it should not b disturbed i.e. cleaned/rubbed etc.. jut a gentle de-nib if needed. Though as lw says normal gloss is the normal way to go. After painting leave it alone, and several days later it will be a pig to move...

Agree with lg bin should have stuck on glass ok, thing is it needs to cure before it gets scratchproof (8 days ?) Mind you I normally get away with using just gloss on cleaned glass. Did you apply during this cold weather?, condensation overnight? Not good conditions. Trick is next time, do...

:lol: Is it Blown Vinyl? they love the rough texture.. I once stuck some thin clear plastic sheet (plastic glass) over a secton a dog seemed to go for in a hallway and it seemed to work. Looked a bit messsy tho, customer was happy :wink:

Have you 'Pre wetted' the brush befre starting? i.e. simply dip brush in water to cover bristles for a few seconds, then shake out excess water so your left with damp bristles. When your not using the brush (even for a few seconds) keep the bristles immersed in the paint. Commen with water...

After a mist coat. I always thin the subsequent coats a little to help flow out. I can't say I ever applied dulux trade matt unthinned. Cut in first, then roll keeping the edge 'green', don't roll till roller is dry keep it loaded. i.e apply like your not paying for the paint. No texting or...

The only good thing with waterbased is the drying time. The non yellowing issue is void as by the time oil based yellows the waterbased is scuffed and dirty. :lol: Dulux '2010 ready' is solvent based. :wink:
