If it was vinyl wallpaper and/or if it wasn't washed first and in a greasy area (kitchen, bathroom or esp in a smokers house)...then it might just be that the paint is getting thrown off by grease or the nature of the wallpaper. If this is the case then I would say strip off the wallpaper and...

Given the route that you guys seem to be going down have you thought of restartting this thread and entitling the thread "screeding over tiles" aimed at the flooring or concreting guys on this board. I reckon that there will be screeds that you may be able to put over tiles that won't be...

Turkey is definitely not *in*, hasn't been for some years ...wild boar is *in* as is venison......sprouts are out, roast mixed vegetables in.... Not the Christmas menu thread??? Still think that we should let wild boar in...

Thanks for the welcome everyone. All is cool and Lynda sent me a very nice email and I emailed her back... Securesparks, no, not short for anything, just pretentious..it started as a joke. My real name is Catherine but I was always known as Katie, then when I went to London and work on sites...

Zampa, I'm in touch with a number of contractors over there and to be honest it's much the same as here...more sales driven in the larger firms of domestic painters. Training for Union shops is again much the same as here, possibly better in some respects, possibly worse in others. Much of the...

Hi Zampa, nice to meet you. I do a bit of lecturing too, but just on a visiting lecturer basis as far as the colleges are concerned. I love it but like being on the tools too much to go for it full time I have recently been made a member of the SAPCT despite the fact that I'm not a full time...

Cheers Linda for redirecting the post. Since I mainly post to decorating stuff, I thought I was doing the right thing posting it in the P&D section...as I said, a wee bit different from what I'm used to... _____________________________ moderator its Lynda not Linda 8)

I have to apologise Angel, I got your homeland wrong...still getting used to this forum's layout and not seeing what was in front of my nose...i.e. your Canadian flag. OK, Faux Effects is not available to you, well it is but at vast expense, but maybe better to look at the Canadian end of...
