Hi Steve,no disrespect but your brand of paint is crap to start with.What is probably best is after good prep,coat of Zinseer BIN primer ,a good trade (Dulux) undercoat x2 if needed then a good quality gloss again Dulux trade.They will always been more prone to chipping etc. due to previous...

Wait for pro-deccys later,they may provide you with a better answer.Iam only DIY.

Hot soapy water broad-bladed scrapper,lots'n' lots of elbow grease,believe me easier to line it :shock:

If you intend to paint straight over the plaster you will need to remove all old paste residue.A much easier way (providing you can wallpaper) would be to give it good sanding,size the plaster,let dry,then lining paper.Over paint in chosen colour.

Now that is sad Growler ,each to their own i suppose :D :shock: wouls sooner watch paint dry. :oops:

ofib,my main concern was,ground floor is solid ashpalt,with laminate floorboards throughout.3 bedrooms also laminate,how would they repipe?Iwas awarded full grant whatever that is.No way would i have conduit running down my walls,over skirting etc. i am a ex-deccy and take pride on appearence of...

onlyfitidealboilers he wont work on them cause he carn't he ment to say bit to technical for an old "sckool" plumb bum Not at all he is fully conversernt with modern boilers,just dosent rate ideal boilers.Been to to many call outs for them within a very short space of installation. i.e...

Boilerman,it was on initial survey,and before being repaired. :shock: :shock: onlyfitidealboilers,the chap that repaired mine (old sckool)advised me to keep my potterton,that he could keep it going longer and cheaper than replace with ideal,which in his own words are a pile of sh1t,and i wont...

Hi all,some months ago came on here asking advice for my "old" potterton 50 boiler,that had a fault.Following advice on here had the part replaced and again is working fine.Today warmfront engineer called to do technical survey to install(disabled wife).I had thought about this beforehand and...

The Dec,Phew,just glad it didnt confuse,was actually quite intresting when we had big chemist boffs in from major companys,trying to get a compromise,with this situation getting adequate flow against bleeding into other colours within the designs,happy days,sadly now defunct.

This may or may not have any purpose on this thread,but here goes.I used to work in textile printing as a colourist,having to get *the* right colour for customers to print the fabric.Sometimes the intensity that the customer wanted wasnt achievable (max 6%),the heavier the colour the denser the...

Becka,I would scrap the loose as much as possible,sand the remains as vigarous as possible then coat with Zinseer as you have or oil based undercoat,let dry thorough then add you preferred top coat,probably best would be a eggshell type,others may disagree.Hope this helps.

Deffo sack him cowboy,spoiling it for proper guys

Vigarous sand down,then something like Zinsser Bin primer,oil based undercoat and then your preferred topcoat.

Nought wrong in my opinion with Leyland paints maybe try to thin a bit with white spirits to get a better flow.

Have you removed ALL traces of paste from your walls before overpainting? If not your wasting your time,if you dont want to wash/scrub walls of residue paint,line them then overpaint with your chosen paint.Or rub down coat with oil based undercoat then apply emulsion,i know which method i would...
