After painting, use a low modulus silicone. Before painting, use decorator's caulk and paint it to blend in.

I never used to care about who was POTUS, but these days I do have some reason to pay attention. Quite frankly, both options are awful and the parties that put the forward should be ashamed. The TV 'messages' both candidates endorse are little more than slanging matches, with insults being...

I can't say I have ever tried that look, but my mind says it will look wrong. If you were to use different colours it may be more acceptable, but I would say bite the bullet and do it all again with whichever paint finish you prefer - it will make a big difference. You will probably find that...

As mentioned, contract matt contains no vinyl and so will not dry to a film like vinyl emulsions do. It is designed to be used on new/porous surfaces which will allow it to be 'absorbed' into the substrate. As you have used Gardz, which is a sealer, it will have left an impervious barrier for...

You might be fine and have no issues with it but, in general, a watered down 'mist coat' is recommended to stop the bare plaster absorbing all the moisture from the first coat of whatever paint is applied. If it has covered well and is sound, just leave it. The only time you may encounter an...

Apologies for the delay in replying...busy, busy, busy! As opps has said, you can use the eggshell anywhere and, being far more hard-wearing, is ideal for busy traffic areas like halls. Also, the Bathroom+ is usually fine for most bathrooms, - it is effectively a thinner version of the acrylic...

Fungicide wash or diluted bleach mixture to kill off the mould spores, rinse, and then use an acrylic eggshell to paint. One with a specific mould protection is best or a bathroom paint with mouldshield is next best.

This form of paste isn't harmful to the envionment so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Dilute it to as thin as possible and you can dispose of it by throwing it into a corner of your garden. You could also do the same into your septic system, but there is always a miniscule chance of some...

Worth bearing in mind that you can line again on top of the lining paper, providing you do so at 90° to the first layer, i.e. if hung vertically, hang the next layer horizontally, or vice versa. This can sometimes help hide small imperfections, but isn't guaranteed. It sounds like the thick...

I'm (un)fortunate enough to look at the situation in europe from a little more of a neutral standpoint these days and I'm not liking what I'm seeing from any angle. I'm not really a political person so don't get involved with those posts/stories in GD, but I have to admit to some concern over...

That's one way of putting it! o_O I agree with JohnD in that you never know when a lath and plaster ceiling is going to give up holding on (I've seen so many become the carpet rather than the ceiling), but also that yours do look to be relatively sound, from the images. The problem you have is...

In all honesty, I used to believe the Crown product in my link was useless, until a customer bought it about 10 years ago and insisted I used it. I warned them that I wouldn't be responsible for poor coverage and that I would expect more money if they wanted me to repaint with a better quality...

To get a specific colour, you'll probably have to go with an actual Dulux Trade product (that is what I generally used on my jobs) and get it mixed. It will cost a fair bit more than the basic colours, but will be a much better product. Others are available but I can't vouch for how good they...
