I knew you were going to say that. :wink: Foresaw it.

Is this going to be a "Solo" suggestion?? Just used it on my house doors. Done the job.

My local B&Q has just stopped their Dulux Trade colour mixing... Replaced it with Valspar. Don't know if this is going right across B&Q or if its just a trial?? Bet Dulux aren't happy! It may be the "blackest" but whats it like to use?

I used BIN before on some shelves and found I had to spend ages sanding out the drag marks (whats the drying time ?? 10 seconds? :evil: ) Would 1-2-3 be suitable? Or any easier to use?

Just a DIY'er, So obviously wait for the Pros....... but... I had this happen before and I was informed (by a man at Brewers) That I was either A) Taking too long to paint the wall, so losing the wet edge. Or B) Paint needed thinning a bit to help stop a textured affect showing. I rubbed the...

The door to my garage (oak veneer) is about 3 years old now, got a few cracks (Fairly fine, nothing major) and we want to gloss it black. It's currently finished with Ronseal 5 year woodstain. I've never been happy with the look, but it was more about getting it finished/protected in a bit of...

Job Done. Thank you Crown Solo!! (.....and TheDec) It may not be the shade of red she chose. But its the red she's getting! Incidently, to some of the other posts The red I originally chose was by Sandtex. The undercoat they state to use is grey. I thought crown owned Sandtex? Non...

Cheers Dec, will give solo (scooter red) a go. Incidently, If all else fails, Has Satin got any better covering power?

Cheers for the reply Dec, but whats the cut-off point. Just keep going until its covered? Out of curiosity, would you have used the grey undercoat? or Had an undercoat tinted to match? My wife likes the colour and wants the back door done to match!! Aaargh!

Sorry in advance if this has been done to death..... We decided it was time to paint the front door. In good nick, just a change of colour. The wife decided on the colour red, So i went and bought Sandtex "Pillar box red" gloss. With the recomended Sandtex grey primer/undercoat. Rubbed...

In the plans for our loft conversion, between the old / new joists it states to "Leave 100mm insulation as sound quilt" No problem with that. But theres no mention anywhere of the blown in insulation that is also already up there between the joists, underneath the normal rolls. Should...

I need to remove bricks from a 9" party wall (for padstones to sit on, for the steels in my loft conversion) One wall has been no problem at all. We get on with the neighbour, so I just attacked the bricks I needed to remove with my sds (chisel attachment) However, the other wall is a bit...

many thanks for the replies. With regards the paint being applied too thickly, honestly, thats not the case. (2 coats both watered down approx 10% to help it move) The texture that makes it look like that is underneath the lining paper. Like someones done a quick lining job over a dodgy...

No signs of damp outside. Excuse my naivety, but if it is moisture from underneath. Why would it be affecting just the new paint and not the old as well??

About 2 months ago I repainted my kitchen with Dulux matt Natural wicker. A couple of days ago I noticed what I thought was water on the wall above the radiator / below window. Picked up a cloth, gave it a quick wipe..... Paint has come off!! In another area I just dabbed with a tissue and...
