Works for me every time. :mrgreen:

Ask your Wife if she has any old emery boards, and use the smoother side, or if she has a nail buffer, then use the slighty rougher side.

Hi anniebee, welcome to the forum :) Is the existing paint already silk? Could be that the B&Q paint has gone off, but you would be better off, painting the bare bits of plaster with a thinnish matt paint first. Silk really should not be used on bare plaster. I find also that Kitchen...

Is the problem, that its peeling away again? or is the problem, you can see the outline of where you scraped and sanded it back?

If your going to paint, then you must wash the walls down after you have stripped, Sugar Soap is good for this, as it will remove all the paste residue, and any contamination, which if isnt washed off properly can react againt your nice new paint, also if you do use SS, dont forget to rinse the...

Not that I would ever go against Zampyhun's opinions, :lol: as he knows his stuff, but I have never sprayed a ceiling with the mixture of bleach Zamps has mentioned. All I can tell you that I have tried in the past tried a few times applying PVA first, and its never worked for me, but never...

Hi there, we have had the same problem, it Idles, sputters, stops and starts, but we finally managed to finish cutting the grass. Hubby did strip it down, cleaned plugs, changed fuel, and tried to fix it, but it still did the same. In the end we bought another one at the weekend, another...

Toptec, No it hasnt always faced the fence, I do turn the pot round every so often, I had just turned it a few days ago, thats why it looks against the fence. Crazycanuck, you have better eyes than me lol, to see a grub, I still cant see it. The tree has been in the same pot for approx 6...

Your welcome. :D The oilbase UC will say, used for 'wood and metal', you will find it among the gloss, satinwood shelves of the stores, its not near the emulsion paint. You want it thin enough where its not running all over the place, if you do it too thick you will be labouring, as its...

Here is the pic of the Maple, hopefully someone can tell me what has caused this, and what to do to save the tree. [img=http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/1811/p5050038kn2.th.jpg]

I have. :lol:

PVA wont hold back the nicotene stain, and the nicotene will still show through. You could use stainblock, but I think it would work out expensive, I always use oilbased Undercoat thinned down with whith spirit of all nicotene stained ceilings. Its much cheaper, lasts longer, and goes...

Lol Zamps, I havent time in my hetic lifestyle to read magazines. :wink: Someone told me this a few years ago, I laughed at the time, (like you do) so I thought I would give it a go, and I must say I was very impressed how easy the paper came off. Cause its a fabric softener, (I daresay a...

Thats what I thought,and if you fill or plaster over them again, sometimes they still pop, it is quite common. Heres what I do when I come up against this in my jobs, and this does solve the problem for me. :D Remove any of the blown/fallen plaster away from the nail heads, dab the area...

Thanks marty for your reply, yes the tree is getting the same. I spoke to someone today, and they said thier the same has happened with thier tree, and he hasnt a clue either. Have been out all day, so havent managed to take a pic yet, but will tomorrow and you can see what I mean.

No, I kid you not. :P

So very true Tim. :lol:

But, in our defence, sometimes you men bring upon yourselves, you havent a clue about how we tick, and that is why women are the superior sex. :P Cough! Cough! I rest my case...... :P

Hahahaha I like that one. :lol: But, in our defence, sometimes you men bring upon yourselves, you havent a clue about how we tick, and that is why women are the superior sex. :P We dont wake up in the morning and say, 'Right!!! I think I will rip his ferking head off', or he comes in from...
