It might have an inline filter but probably better to replace it. Brass shank is a must

I’ve got the same concerns now!

You’d be unlucky if it’s not 1/2 inch. Use a bit of thread paste on the old olive if you don’t change it.

It will depend on how tough your wall is. Hilti are the best so it stands a chance.

See my pics in the other thread. I’m using acrylic primer on going

No I appreciate the detailed response a lot, thank you. I’ve always painted with leyland trade and I don’t think I’ve used an acrylic durable paint before. It’s definitely given me a lot to think about on going. I’ve scraped most of the paint off now, sanded and primed with acrylic primer...

That makes sense, thank you. I’ve used Gardz on plasterboard and paint stuck like **** to a blanket. I think I’ve been to cheap with my prep.

@Wayners @opps I’ve painted a few houses with newly plastered walls. I’ve always primed them with diluted trade white to prime and then used a better paint to finish. On the walls in my pics I have done the above but used McPherson durable acrylic Matt this time. I noticed a blister and then...

I had something similar on a wall I painted yesterday. I painted over it and it grew in size. I scrapped it back and left it to dry. Mine is an external wall and the gutter was blocked- but it isn’t now. The wall seems bone dry. I’ll do as above and hopefully it won’t peel off.

I’m just a diyer. I’ve used the filler for our Victorian house- skirts don’t fit the wall when replaced so I’ve filled them. Hopefully it won’t crack. I also like drywall finishing filler for walls and little dents in plaster. I wasn’t telling anyone how it’s done. How would you fill a gap...

I’ve stopped using it to. I use two pack filler wherever possible. It stops cracks in the future. Caulk is good for sealing tape for a straight edge.

Thank you very much for your helpful and informative answer. It’s for a couple of WC’s at home. Not massive jobs but the tiles aren’t cheap, so I want something that’s stands a chance I’ll have a look at the big clinker. Thank you again :cool:

What would people suggest to cut 9mm porcelain tiles ?

I do this with my foam gun to. I’ve had 3 in 15 years. I used to clean it but a window fitter told me to leave it

Is it worth repairing? I’d go for a new better one.

Just push your drill bit into the plasterboard a little to make a dent. Then the fixing goes in easily

Put a flat or angled bead on it

What do the pro’s use for emulsion ? We’ve got some fancy paint and I want to give it a chance to look its best. Should I whisk in a bit of water too ?

7-8 Hours a day is the norm

Thank you! I was sort of thinking the same Is there a good paint or are they all the same
