The finish he achieved on all the walls in the end was very good, he was spraying them down a lot more than he usually would, and it took a lot longer too, the reason for the initial question as to the quality of old PVA. So he is back in the other room today. Might be an extra day to...

I supplied all the materials bought from wickes the day before he started.. All bags were date checked, good until November according to the bag. I've had him to do jobs before for me and other family members too and was more than impressed with the results previously. The walls were...
