Some advice required for prepping a newly plasterboarded room I want to cross line and paper.The wall is flat and all joints taped and filled with Gyproc Easi- Fill. I plan to prime the surface with Zinsser Gardz and then size on top prior to hanging lining paper with a ready mixed adhesive...

Many thanks for reply. Unfortunately the cracks are too near the top to drill beyond them. Will just have to leave it alone. Serves me right for not checking thoroughly on delivery. Very poor quality in every regard.

Any help appreciated please. I bought an acrylic bath in February and after delivery stored in spare room. Only started to fit today and have noticed 3 small cracks on rim on bath tap end but very close to corner like it has been dropped. Once fitted and siliconed I am pretty sure it will be...

Many thanks securespark. That worked and all back to normal. I checked the downstairs switch and red and black were in L1 and L2 and not L1 and COM as I originally posted. Sorry for late reply but have only read it today and just done it. Thanks again.

Sorry if reply is a bit late but I had similar a few years ago and washed with sugar soap. Was told to use Zinsser B.I.N. I did so and have had no bleed through. Bit pricey but did the job fine. Had already bought some to prime a previously varnished cladded ceiling in porch prior to painting...

Can anyone please recommend a good quality border and overlap adhesive that comes in ton form. I have always used solvite but find that it now comes in tubes only. I prefer the tubs as I can just stick a brush in and slap it on. Local Crown deccie centre has some in window possibly called...

Many thanks for the replies. I will try a bit of trial and error and hopefully sort it.

Unable to post a pic I'm afraid. The red and black between both switches go into L1 and Com respectively. Think the problem lies with the way I'm wiring the wires that go off to the light. Not sure which terminals those wires should be in. Made a mental note as I was taking old one off and then...

Hi all. Could anyone answer a quick question for me. I am replacing an upstairs landing 2 way switch and deciphering which wires go where. (One switch controls landing light. The other controls bathroom light). I also have a 2 way switch in hallway. (One controls hall light and the other...

That's what I couldn't understand. I'm thinking too that 2mm will look neater.Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply John. Sorry for the delay. Have had tonsillitis from hell. I'm still not sure which thickness tape is the best one to go for. Not sure what the ideal gap should be between inside face of glass and frame. May just go for 2mm.

Sorry, meant to say rebate is 12mm.

Externally wood beaded. Units are 20 mm thick John.

Hi. Just a quick question regarding replacing misted up units into hardwood frames. I am about to order some security glazing tape using the dry glazing method. The tape comes in 2,3,4mm etc. thicknesses and compresses about 20%. What should be the ideal mm gap between glass and frame when...

Thanks for the reply Gazman. The only reason I asked was I have seen something called EDPM take and wondered if that was what it was used for. I do not think Their are any drainage holes.

Hi everyone. Some advice needed if possible. I intend to replace a few misted units into hardwood frames. In the past I have used butyl putty but intend to use security glazing tape to stick the inside face of the units to the inside of the rebates. One thing I am not sure about is do I will...
