I meant a cut out like an L shape or something more complicated would be easier with this for a beginner If he is as good as he thinks he is, it will be all down to the measurements

I presume you were using water as it keeps the dust down but also acts as a lube.

I guess that price was not to your liking - lol score and snap are very fast but dont cut angles - so if your cutting a few a diamond bladed tile saw will be more apropriate. Im by no means a pro like some guys on here but Im not bad for a DIYer and mine has done me ok over the years...

thanks, what about the existing plaster board walls that will be within the cubical, do these need relining with Aquapanel as well or can these just be tiled over as normal

Anybody have any tips on removing tiles from plaster board walls, worried they are going pull bits of plaster off with them causing holes

Im planning on fitting a recessed shower where I would need a wall that spanned about 1m with a hinge door from the original plasterboard wall to this new wall to make a cubical and fitting shower tray within. Can the wall be made of block on top of the floor boards or will it be better made...

Ok thanks alot Zampa, no more talk of damp wiping LOL

what about all the dust - wont it stop the paper sticking properly if its got dust all over it ????

yea sure do, just trying to get a good finish that hasnt got embedded dust in it. so just sand brush of and paint straight over the top - I'll give it a go but sounds like my finish will be poor ie full of dust particles

After I've filled and sanded the imperfections in my walls do I need to seal the filler prior to washing down and then papering? as I've filled before and when I've washed the walls down the filler rubs away

any idea where I can get tack rags from for cleaning down the sanded surface prior to painting, just cant seem to get rid of this filler dust. Do the likes of the B&Q/Wickes sell them ?

any reason why you cant use sugersoap to remove the nicotine?

Hi all, i had 5 or 6 large bubbles appear under the eggshell finish on some skirting, after opening these up I found knots under (presume the never had knotting solution on them before paint). Anyhow I've chipped the paint away over and around these knots,wiped them down with white spirit to...

many thanks :D

when you plaster an artexed ceiling surely this is just the same, you give it a coat of PVA to make it tacky then replaster. :? Wont the silk have just sealed the artex, if it was done right and a watered down first coat of silk was used and further coats then added.

you can but will be a lot of work, treating knots, priming, filling, sanding and then painting or buy a new doors for about £15 to £20 already primed then you have to fit it or have them fitted If cost is the issue paint your old doors if not buy some new ones

I have a disused fused shower supply in the loft, could this be used as a supply for sockets in a loft conversion? :?:

Get some white eggshell, hard wearing and wont yellow like gloss. Over paint it with acrylic varnish matt or gloss - depending on the look your after. Dont forget to prime them first - you dont need undercoat for eggshell

If the skirting is painted and not stained you could fill the gaps with decorators chaulk, just use a mastic gun squirt it in and smooth it off with a damp sponge, then paint over.

The house was built around 60's, all solid walls with plaster, no board anywhere except ceilings. What type of smell do you mean? only a wet plaster smell, its quite tough to sand and matt looking - I see it all the time on those house auction shows - its mainly yellow or a duck egg colour...
