Sometimes with the old plaster with cracks you can use thick lining paper to keep wall in one piece but if you would made partition from plasterboars it want be a problem with cracks? Is that correct?

So another question. Bonding on the wood after few months or years it could be more cracks coz is very hard, plasterboars have the paper on the top. Or maybe I'm wrong.

I'm agree with you OIL Based and tht's it!!!

It looks almost same as the metal one for rendering but plastic it will support the plaster about 1200mm wide. similar to jointing tape. Is in use also with external insulating

I'm not saying is roller will be good for architrave. Read carefully. Roller can help you to paint faster flat ares for example on paneled doors.

I'm agree with jonh. I'm doing exact same roller and brush for oil paints about water paints all what you need to get good finish is experience, good hand and good brushes

So you want to say is that could be stronger and better than plasterboards?

I may have some advice for you. My dad is using the plastic mesh. It is also good for that types of surfaces

Sanding than 2 coats of oil based undercoat and than top coat

You should't screw it to joist cos is not really solid and you can get some cracks in the future cos they are used for the floor above.

Ok my advice. If you going to change te color from light to dark there's no proble 2 coats should be enough but from darker to lighter you should use 2 coats of white but not cheap needs to be good quality and than probably next two of your color

Apply any oil based paint by brush gloss or satin

richard check that photo. In other european countries builders are doing that job

In my opinion the best is to remove totally old ceiling to see the joist. 1 don't screw it plasterboards directly to joist 2 if you going to use plasterboards why skimming better do jointing with tappered edge boards 3 don't use any wood the best is metal as on the photo available in Selco...

Richard why you recommending to skimm the plasterboards. Customer will spend more money to pay for materials and labour?
