Could be a few reasons. Leaving too long between applying the basecoat and the clear...normally you have a 24 hour maximum window with solvent based paint, or not leaving enough time or just poor quality materials....it may have been done with an aerosol ! Also,smart repairers often work...

Burnerman,20 years in the trade tells me it doesnt . Hit it with an airline at high pressure and if it all comes off fine but you've still got to flat the panel and repaint. If it doesn't blow off under pressure it will be sound enought to feather in and primer

If it does crack at some point,won't they be hairline and probably hidden by wallpaper anyway ?

I'd DA it back until it feathers in and then prime it

I'm just about to have this done. Over 1 window I was able to use plasterboard but the other,main window, I don't have the depth. My plasterer is suggesting a few layers of scrim over the timber lintel. Don't know wether this is going to work but he is an experienced plaster...he's 64 !

I went to my local tool supplier who tends to specalise in builders tools. He had 3ft Stabila at £45 and some similar loking cheapos at £10. Cheapo was nice n heavy and when I checked the levels in the shop they all appeared good so went ahead and bought it. Got back to the job and found...

1 or both of the front wheels may need balancing.....does the wobble only happen at a certain speed range and then disappear ?

In my experience you're often just as well buying the cheaper stuff like Clarke because it comes with a 12 month guarantee so if it fails after that you haven't lost much As an example the worst DA sander I ever bought in 20 odd years of trading was also the dearest,a Snap-on.I have 2 Clarke...

not easy to measure on your own a 2.4 x 3.3 mtr rectangle with uneven walls,floorboards and a lowered header joist to contend with....even harder with a dodgy spirit level :wink:

Who sells them ? Will I get one from one of the diy places like B+Q or maybe a building supplier ?

Just been trying to square up a frame I'm making for some sliding doors and I've just discovered my sprit level is not true. One way the timber is perfect but spin the level around 180' and it's out. I can't believe it,no wonder I've been having problems :x It's a 3ft Blackspur. I need...

http://www.spaceslide.co.uk/ or here http://www.techglide.co.uk/main.html all made to measure

I could but its right under the eaves,be a tight squeeze even for me :D

I wasnt expecting to need access when I did it Edward.We live and learn. flamesport,I've traced the existing cabling to the switch and from the next rooms ceiling rose. So I'll just add a junction box then. Cheers

I want to add another light and switch.The last fiittng on the circuit is a rose but I can't access it as it is in the void between the original ceiling and the lowered ceiling I installed a few years back I can however access the 2 cables in the loft that connect to the rose. Can I add a...

Looking to change a couple of single panel radiators and trying to work out what size to go for Would I be near the mark in thinking a K2 rad that is half the size of a K1 ( in terms of surface area) would give out a similar amount of heat and a P+ slightly less ?

I will soon be renovating a bedroom from top to bottom and was wondering if there would be much benefit in insulating the living room ceiling void whilst I have the floorboards up above. I'm thinking in terms of savings on heat loss into what is a rarely used room...except for sleeping :D

This company make them to measure but I don't know how good they are,I haven't ordered mine yet http://www.techglide.co.uk/main.html

I'll have a look at that thanks. I may try loading a pic of the room into somethng like MS Paint and seeing what I can do with that

That paint I used was called Maxim stone paint and was bought from Dixons
