Glad it went well for you Sarie, looks a nice job, well done.

Having just been looking at their site i reckon you could try two or three coats of bedec interior flex

Bedec do a good range of quality exterior paints. Looking at their site the barn paint comes in a semi gloss and can be used on concrete so i should think render would be ok. their masonry paint which is excellent and my personal first choice comes in a satin finish. their MSP can also be used...

She's talking out of her harris mate. There is a good range of oil and water based paints available from Dulux and others for exterior and interior applications. Dulux weathershield isn't a bad drop of gear in oil based form, sikkens XD is the best Just to add not quite sure what you mean by...

I rang F&B tech once and the woman that answered the phone who i'd presume to be no more than a receptionist asked me my question and felt qualified to answer it..... " ooh i should think that would be ok" she said. I don't think they have a tech dept. I think the vinyl content is about 3% in...

Thanks Robbie, much appreciated

Howdy Mr H, haha thats ok i'll let you off! Actually was very nice to hang once i'd figured out how. Paper looks nice except the pattern at the top of the wall running out big time. One wall meets the ceiling 25mm higher than the one opposite (you can see it over the door in pic). I did warn the...

Well, got 5 rolls hung today, after double triple checking everything. Turns out you just hang it 1-2-1-2, i.e. 1 3 5 are the same as are 2 4 6. You live and learn! I will try and upload a picture, i'm not sure how to put it in the post so will stick it in a folder, its the longest toilet i've...

Offset drop

Tell me about it ! I think i've worked it out in my head but putting theory into practice might be difficult, hope you have a better day than me! Cheers Robbie

Bump Over a thousand views and still no sticky ?

This is one of the few occasions that may justify a cheap diy sprayer, you'll need to prime the stained ones with zinsser 123. Tip i learned years ago is to tap a block of timber wider than the doors with a couple of large nails into the top and bottom edges of the doors (not the rail, the...

I wouldn't wash it down with the sugar soap as you risk blowing the LP. Gardz is made for the job, some light sanding would be OK to remove any dried lumps. Gardz is very thin, sheet up well, eye protection may be a good idea and apply sparingly. I've always found F&B ok

Got an offset match to hang 64/32. I can't remember doing one before, i've done plenty of drop patterns but can't ever remember doing one thats offset. I know that the left hand edge of piece of paper number 2 will be hung 32cm lower against the right hand edge of piece number one, but...

Zinnser gardz, its designed to seal old wall paper paster (amongst other things). Its not best practice what your suggesting but the above answers your question

I'd use a cheaper paint on the ceilings as they don't really suffer from wear and tear, i use Johnstones cover plus. You can use intellimatt on woodwork but prep has to be very good especially over gloss. It won't be the best finish either as its likely to be a bit on the ropey side i'd...

Dulux retail paints don't like being thinned, don't really know what you mean by "slakes".

Give it a coat of zinnser gardz before papering this will future proof the wall.

Use zinsser 123 it can be tinted (dark grey) at a trade merchants like Brewers.
