If you're handy with a brush just cut it in free hand. Add a drop of water to the cutting in paint so it flows better. Maybe a two inch brush. Screwfix do some harris trade ones for a good price. If you're not confident cutting it in free hand you could try frog tape but make sure the other edge...

I use Ronseal radiator paint. 750 ml does loads of rads, probably 10 1200mm rads. Water based so easy clean up. Was 15 quid a tin but seems to be 20 everywhere now.

Is it a lashing of pva? This is often see through on the must coat. Make sure it's dry and give it a light sanding. Then try again with the mist coat. It should then take the top coats.

Upside down wallpaper?

As most corners are out a little bit I tend to measure in 3 or 4 places the distance from the previous piece to the internal corner. Then I use the biggest measurement and cut the corner piece just a tiny bit bigger. Then plumb a line round the corner slightly bigger than the 2nd half of paper...

Someone already did but ok. 11 is a type of radiator. It's a single panel. I'm wanting to change to a double which will guve off mote heat!

Think you've got the wrong end of the stick mate.

Yes. All rads are very hot. Upstairs is controlled individually by valves. The upstairs rooms gets hot very quick but I think downstairs the rads are not sufficient for the area. Her downstairs is like a horseshoe with a living room/kitchen/dining area, virtually open plan, heated by just two...

Thanks It's in the dining room really which is in with the kitchen as one big room, this then enters an open living room. So it's quite open plan. Almost like a horse shoe. It's wired smack in the middle of the living room and dining room. Was like this when she moved in. She hasn't got a hall...

Thanks guys. The thermostat is in her kitchen and it takes forever to get to 19 degrees, hence why I mentioned the boiler constantly being on. It's trying to get to 19 and taking hours. I am hoping, if I increase the heat output it will reach 19 much quicker to save the boiler running at max...

Hi My daughter has single 11 radiators in her kitchen and lounge and after working it out they are way too small for the area. Her boiler seems constantly on trying to get to thermostat temperature. I'm going to change them for her and was thinking about a straight swap for a 21. However I was...

Are you in Monday about 10am? I'll pop over and take a look!

You can get plaster shadows when the plastering/ filler is uneven. If the plastering has dips in it then when light hits the bumps it can create shadows. What you've done should have really obliterated any colour showing through though.

Looks like theres a fair amount of plaster shadows on that wall too.

And it's awful stuff

Use an undercoat first

If the stains were there before repainting then they'll always come back through. You need to put some stain block on first or undercoat.

Matt over silk is always a no no as it's likely to crack.

Yes it yellows. You'll never get a glassy finish with a satin!
