Yes red_man but only a small trickle considering the pressure goes way off the scale and I believe it is set to blow at 3 bar.

cheers micilin, guess the info wasn't completely wrong then! I intended to do a little practice ceiling in the garage anyway so think I will try it half and half to see how it comes out. If it all falls off the brown side guess I'll be changing them all :lol: but going with the opinions...

Has it ever been practice to skim the brown side? Or did I just read some duff info?

Fair comment guess it also depends on who has been doing the services on it.

haha i know, its just a bit dis-heartening when you make daft mistakes like that lol. Good job there's places like this to come to when it all goes pair shaped. Thanks again for the good advice.

Hi Graham, it's ok I'm not easily offended lol. I have tried disconnecting the filling loop and still get the same problems and yes I released all the pressure in the system before checking the expansion vessel. Have noticed after turning the system off the pressure went back to 0, guess...

Hi all, I recently re boarded my ceiling, after getting tips from internet forums etc I put the boards up brown side facing out over as this is supposed to be better for plastering. Was feeling very pleased with myself while looking up at my new flat ceiling ready to be plastered until I...
