This is how my wall turnt out, and it’s the same on ceiling. Wasnt applying too much pressure and felt I was applying even.

Well it’s very frustrating, I could just leave it but it’s the room I will spend most time in. It does seem that I ain’t getting much out of that roller sleeve. I’m going to get some ultra Matt then and give it a final coat with it. Then give up

So I watered it down a fair bit and never made much difference. After speaking to a painter friend, he mentioned it’s probably the heat and sunlight as it’s an extension with a large bifold opening with no doors yet. So..... I painted again tonight after it had cooled. It was a lot easier to lay...

I’m one of them that if I know it’s there.... it has to go I’m certain I won’t get lap marks if it doesn’t dry as quick, so will add some water. Thanks

And not so much I had roller marks as in excess paint.... but when the natural light was shining through I could see lap marks Will I always get lap marks in daylight to a certain degree?

Yeah highly annoying. I already sanded and brushed off. I’m going to thin it tomorrow and coat. I had to stop today as I pressed so hard trying to flatten the mark that I popped a drywall screw and had to fill This is why I stick to fixing boilers

As if it’s holding too much on the sides of the roller. Will a short pile prevent this happening?

I purchased the normal Leyland trade paint which I’ve used before. Went on fine on the walls but still on the ceiling before I’ve rolled and layed it off, where I’ve initially rolled is drying and then can’t be flattened. I’ve never had a problems before. Using a medium pile microfibres sleeve...

Yeah some mist coating is like having a paint bath Had no idea it was fast drying as it doesn’t say anything on website description. Will get a different paint and see how that turns out.

I see from that sheet, it’s quick drying! Probably ain’t helping me Didn’t realise

I thinned the mist coat initially.

Honestly, I can’t see it being that, it’s hardly making much coverage. What’s the best sleeve and paint for ceilings?

Evening, I am a tradesman, if a painter but do bits and pieces . I’ve been using Leyland Trade Super Laytex and a medium nap Wooster microfibre sleeve. I’ve roller marks literally everywhere on the ceiling, I’m loading up as much as I can, maybe this is a poor sleeve, getting it on quick but...

I’m aware of the line pumping, it’s hard for any sizeable vehicle to stop for a period of time. Plus the pump will cost more than the 4 cubic metres I need. I was trying to find a way around it as I have time on my hands

I have been rethinking my patio. It’s not really accessible or easy for me to either get the concrete delivered or mix that amount on site. I know I can prime the tiles so they can go on a sand and cement base but id rather use proper tile adhesive on to a concrete base. So my question is, is...

I thought I’d ask here to get someone with experience in it. I am a tradesman but have no concept of concrete volume. Every different google search I did came back with something different. I will have a go at that site Cheers

hello I am doing a porcelain patio intend to lay a 4” concrete slab. It’s going to be 40sqm and I am trying to work out how much sand and cement I wil require as will prob need to mix it on site Thanks

I am doing my garden patio and want to install Porcelain slabs. Any advice on the best way to install? I know they can’t be laid on sand and cement without an additive added, and additives can vary. Is it best to concrete a Solid base and lay them as I would interior porcelain with rapid set...

ive been building an extension and have lots of old slabs, bricks and concrete blocks. I was planning on laying in down to form part of a sub base for a patio. People keep telling me il get voids etc if I use them ...... massive ball ache to clear as access limited. Surely if I lay it all...
