Thanks for the info. I have used Dulux trade stain block plus on ceilings , but, it says nothing on the tin about any other applications, Hence my hesitation to use!!

My friend has brown sapelle doors - I'm not sure if varnished but they prob are. If we require a white satin finish, what undercoat should I use ( if any). I have Dulux QDP - which I am not sure will work. THANKS in advance for any help :wink:

The paper has peeled and curled for about 1 ft above rad. The paper looks pretty set in curled position ie hard and bone dry !! Is there any way of sticking back down (without it curling back up) or should I remove 2 strips ( or splice in a couple of portions). Thanks.

are you saying you should def not fit around pedastal and wc. If these have been tiled around further up, it is a big job to take out and replace 10mm higher. Has anyone else cut around and left a gap to fill with silicon.

Is this sensible as opposed to cutting away the frame and architrave to slip the flooring under. I use templates to achieve a near perfect match and fill with wood colour acrylic filler. Which option is preferable and why?

I always spend ages pondering over which way to lay boards (click fit)when starting a room with a door !!, pedestal and a wc. Should i aim to go across these or in line with them. What factors need to be considered. Sometimes you are unable to add a board due to it fouling the fixture itself...

Thanks again Zampa - all a bit clearer now !!

As above really - how deep can you sensibly fill before you need to prefill with plaster. Does easi-fill sand easy(compared with polyfiller). All you guys seem to use it in pref to polyfiller - Why? Thanks

Hello all, the existing door is rebated on the bottom to fit over a 8mm lip protruding up from the existing threshold. If I fit an aluminium threshold strip, do i have to remove this metal strip from the existing threshold or does it sit under the new one. If you need to remove it, any tips on...

Hello all, as above plus model number 10545G. Cannon not used for a week. Ignition sparks at oven, grill and rear left hob but not three other hob rings. It seems to be clicking a little faster when ignition button pressed. Any help in fixing suggestions much appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Nestor - as previous posts suggest, just English sense of humour. This board would be a poorer one without your input so keep em coming!! :wink:

Could someone explain the difference between the two products. Is coloured varnish essentially woodstain and producing the same results. I have a feeling that a lengthy but interesting answer may be on its way (Calling Canada) :D

The walls were skimmed Today. Q1-How long should I leave before applying lining paper. Q2-Is sizing the wall adequate or should i use something else before papering. Thanks

I thought I read on here that it was unwise to paint emulsion onto a vinyl type wall covering. Will this always fail and is there a solution(apart from taking the paper off - which he does not want to do!). Thanks

Is there a trick that allows emulsion to cover silicone (around a window frame for example). This must be a common prob. Thanks in advance.

Something Zampa said earlier about the cove adhesive setting like concrete. I am sure I used some adhesive that was easy to sand - are there diff types. This was to fit paper faced polystyrene(YUK!) so maybe it is not as heavy duty as for plaster coving. Just curious.

fortunately oilman --you do !! Thanks mate.

Our room thermostat is placed in the hall of our bungalow - about 6 inches from the opening door to the airing/hot cylinder cupboard. The wall it is on backs onto the broom cupboard in the kitchen(which is next to the airing cupboard side wall. With me so far !! I have noticed that most people...

is lining (then painting)the one wall an option, or would the bubbles activate and show through the paper. Thanks for all previous helpful comments.

I am still having problems with bubbling up (2-5mm dia) of matt emulsion on one wall. If i apply another coat , the blistering re-appears (Probably due to contamination a couple of layers down!) Some of the bubbles disappear when dried, but some are still visible. I will have to sand down but...
