It would be relatively easy to mix a bucket of easi fill and skim scrape over the entire ceiling. Just so annoying as I had it plastered and painted so many times. I’ve new plastered walls inside, done the same as this ceiling and are fine. So spray won’t fill holes?

As in other posts, had a mare with ceiling drying funny with small holes everywhere. I’m going to buy a sprayer as an investment as I like the idea of a perfect finish. Question- 1 - will a sprayer fill the existing holes and imperfections or will I need to mass fill smooth 2 - if sprayed...

Will a primer fill the holes? I pole sanded mine with 120 grit and done sod all really. You have ri be pressing very hard and take an eternity to get smooth. Im going to buy myself a new toy and get a sprayer.

I’m only joking. I don’t know why I didn’t just buy a Wagner paint sprayer. Would have been much simpler and an investment. So my problem is now the different texture. Would a sprayer fill these imperfections? Or will I literally have to fill them smooth? Because even a 120 grit didn’t...

Is that just to say I must be a rubbish painter I don’t know what’s gone on or why it’s drying like that. Now I feel the only way to start again is to mass fill the tiny holes with easi fill which would take ages.

Here is a photo. What you may think are raised bumps, they are not.... they are little dimples

Nope. Didn’t get to the bottom of it. Thing is now, I tried so many different things and paint that I may have encountered a couple of different issues. I’ve attached a photo, it’s hard to see, it has been sanded with 120 grit and you can still see some of the deep little holes. What you may...

Will take a photo later, No PVA as far as I’m aware. Not massive areas. Would it have anything to do with the back doors not being on? So there’s a wide opening

Hello, right I have an old post about painting flashing in the daylight. I tried a few diffemrt paints from cheap to expensive. Whatever I did I could get rid. I thought I was lapping but it seems where flashing is, it’s like clusters of pimples. It’s fresh plaster on board. I can’t sand all...

That’s what they said, that id over done it, but I had to fill it anyway. Rather over do it than it move. It’s really crap ground. House is on piles

Ok, thanks for that. Landscaping (apart from fencing is one thing I’ve never done. Yeah, so it is exactly as you describe. I thought maybe they hadn’t done it properly, although I did think it needed to be done in 50mm layers. I could come up another inch and still be at my desired height. I’d...

I’ve painted this poxy ceiling 5 times. This time I hadn’t spots in. Now they are out and I’ve had to repair the majority of the holes. Now waiting for it to dry. The last time I painted it with Dulux supermatt. I definitely left a wet edge. Same marks are making me thinks it’s an uneven surface...

Not sure if anyone will get this as it’s been a while. Basically I purchased a dearer paint. It’s made no difference. In fact, lines in the same places so upon further inspection, it looks like the texture in the marked areas looks different, it as flat. The plasterboard was plastered and had...

Had someone come in to level and whack a 100mm type 1 sub base for a patio. I’m some areas I saw them trying to wack 100mm in one go. Will this be weak as not whacked in layers? How can I check the integrity of it? I can kick it up using light force. Surely it should be solid I’d done properly ...

Hi, I am doing a patio and fake grass. I researched to install a 100mm sub base. I needed around 15tonne and was too much to barrow in by myself so I had someone come in. Straight away telling me I don’t need 100mm for patio subjected to foot traffic. Mainly levelling by eye and telling me...

Right ok, so where do I got from there then? I thinned it to the consitency I always have done.

I don’t go side to side all the way up and down.... I use the paint from the initial spread and go either side of it then go back over it all.

I couldn’t tell you the exact percentage but it would have been more than 10%. Usually would try do nearer half and half

The walls are boarded but plastered. I havnt been able to get any Dulux Matt ultra yet. Out of stock. The pic is from the last coat of Leyland trade. The lines are perfectly straight because I’m rolling perfectly straight. Starting 5 inches away from last roll and then rolling back in...
