Don't add gloss, you will get in a right mess,m You can buy a clear coat that makes more it durable like this http://www.polyvine.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=97&Itemid=170&lang=en Can change the colour slightly

You can get people who have video cameras that they can send down pipes to access the issues, no idea on how much that would cost though, if the tank is that old it may be easier just to look at have a new system fitted but it's not cheap, in the region of £5k upwards if I remember, if its...

It's more to do with the finish that the eggshell leaves making it hard for paints to adhere properly to it, you have to prep it like you would do woodwork as this is where is more commonly used, if you don't you will find the new paint will only sit on top and will probably peel off like a...

I guess the trampoline manufacturers leave the amount of gap between the floor and base for a reason, you can take the chance and only do the legs and leave a smaller gap to the floor but the injuries that could be caused as a result of miscalculation may not be worth it, I know how bad they...

Should i fill this void with rockwool insulation or insulation board? (this is the front of the roof and the back of the facia board), I am putting in 150mm board insulation in between the rafters but don't think it will be easy to to slide down. its a non vented roof as I have a breathable...

Probably wants a light sand over to give the paint something to bond too, not to heavy a grit otherwise you will have scratches all over, if it still not taking then maybe a coat of Zinsser 123, but that is expensive.

Sounds like it, our inspector did seem a bit of a jobs worth, I removed one of the closer trees which was a large cooking apple tree which gave another meter before we hit the second tree which Is a walnut, thinking this would not mean such deep footing but he said no it would stay the same. He...

I had to have a block and beam floor and go down 1.7 mtrs as we are clay here and had a couple of trees close by. I have down graded the insulation thickness which is still well in the allowed u value and saved me money, also going with Ecotherm insulation saved another £100. Will contact my...

Must be the case, I guess different architects have different ideas on which roof system to use, or I wonder if it makes a difference on the type of flooring you use. At least I know hopefully what kind of roof set I have now, the different options were nether mentioned to me when designing.

Just thin enough of the masonary paint you are using for the finished job then cracking on with painting as normal.

Here is what my spec sheet says, "Ceiling to be 12.5mm plasterboard with plaster skim coat on 25x50mm softwood battens on vapour control layer, Tyvek ref VCL SD2 or similar approved vapour control layer. Important Note: Vapour control layer is not to be cut so as to accommodate any...

Hard to tell properly from the pictures from the angle, but the bumps and lumps don't look very deep so it will be hard to get the filler to stay, there are light fine fillers that may soften them, a block and good sand paper may also help,think it will be trial and error to see what gets the...

Looking good, but on you're pitched roof insulation did you not need a vcb or need to tape up the joints? Also I have to battern out for plaster board and not cut holes in the insulation for lights and cables.

Thanks Woody for advice, here's the finished product for better or worse (n)

I used a similar product to this and worked well, I can't remember the exact one I used http://www.wood-finishes-direct.com/product/peelaway-seven I may of used kling strip. These are great scrapers...

It all in the prep ☺ , you can try the lazy method but if it does not work your going to have twice the mess to sort out.

I think it should be fine if you prep it well before painting, theses tungsten scrapers are great on loose paint. http://www.mypaintbrush.co.uk/tungsten-carbide-scraper?language=en&currency=GBP&gclid=Cj0KEQjwldzHBRCfg_aImKrf7N4BEiQABJTPKFEUZuhKed1zFIHn2F904YrXqizSJ3iDDZDMW23bjHcaAgsL8P8HAQ...
