Yes, a mist coat is what I meant. What I don't understand is when it was originally painted, it covered fine. I'll sand it and apply another coat and see if that works as I haven't any Gardz and it's expensive.

The one that comes up from this part number measures 400x290mm...

My wife made a temporary fix with wire that lasted that time but now a piece has completely broken off hence having to replace. The link you kindly provided is showing a higher price (and then another £4 postage) Would this be ok ...

Ok, it's just that mine has rounded corners and some are 90 degree. I have emailed the seller (the top of the list) but had no response. I just want to make sure thanks.

This bathroom wall was newly plastered in jan 2024. It was treated to a wash emulsion to soak into the plaster before a good quality Valspar emulsion (bathroom and kitchen) was painted. There have been streaks of dripps (condensation) which were wiped (supposed to be wipeable) but it made a...

Can you please confirm it's the first part at the top of the page on Ebay that you are referring ? Thanks

I will add I have had a fan in the room going all Summer evenings, which was very hot and dry.

Much appreciated. Thank you.

I can't find the correct seal as the one that comes up from the oven number is a 4 sided 90 degree corner instead of rounded. Here are photos of my oven and number.

Ok, the gutter was fixed during the dry summer period. It now doesn't leak. have had the bedroom window slightly open as much as possible and yet the paper still feels damp to the tough. Riddle me that one!

Its not the bricks as it's never been a problem in the 27 years living here with different paints over the years. Its a working stove fireplace as dry as a bone. The outside brick work the same. Gone over it with large paint brush and not showing.

No because it is dry as a bone, especially as there is a wood burning stove in the fireplace. Perhaps use a paint brush ?

I have been painting with a simple foam roller and Lick paint. All around the rest of the room is fine but this chimney breast is proving to be a pig. I have plenty of paint on the roller, evenly spread. Evenly applying pressure with long strokes but again and again when it dries it shows these...

Does anyone know how to get a can working that will not spray. It is still half full and I have cleared the nozzle and put a pin in the centre and stuck a wire into the can's internal components to no avail ?

I have the Zinsser Bin spray primer stain blocker. I'll try that thanks.

I have tried that but it's rubbery texture makes it nigh on impossible.

I can't seem to get rid of the shiny finish that decorators caulk (used to fill pits in the plaster) gives through paint. layer after layer after layer and it still shows through. I have tried sanding it but it has a slight rubbery texture which is a pig to take off, hence why it shows to be...

I have sealed it with CT1 Adhesive & Sealant and yet the smell still emanates from it :(

It's intermettent. Since my last post the smell stopped. I thought great, it must have been temporary. And now it's back since the weather has hot ted up. Doesn't make sense. Still haven't got round to lifting the drain cover as so many other jobs.

I took this when we had a, downpour last week. As you can see it is leaking dead on the corner of the brick holding the cast iron gutter. That might be part of the problem. I could point it myself with my 3 rung ladder but am terrified of working at that height.
