Hi Doctor I had the exact opposite - my wife wasn't too fussed by them at all as they were only very faint but were doing my head in no end! Anyhow, have you actually tried getting a very sharp craft blade under the crack to see if it does lift? It's possible that it may appear like there...

Dec, no trickery or suspect vision on your part, just me trying to see if applying the paint a little thicker over the cracks would help (the surface was smooth). Anyhow, as suggested by a another I gently slid a blade under and lifted ever-so slightly and teased in a little border adhesive...

Dec, Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt

Cheshire, 1) No, it's not overlapping. 2) It does feel like it's come away slightly from the at some of these points so probably needs sticking back down. 3)Not too many fortunately, just a few the longest no more than a foot or so. 4) Yes, a bit of texture from the roller - was hoping it...

Cheshire - yes, i used Dulux 1400 grade paper. I'm presuming that the oil undercoat/BIN has more 'stretch' to it and/or creates an impermiable layer of some kind? Dec - I soaked the paper for about 7-10 minutes before hanging so can only presume it's down to one (or both) of the other...

I have recently lined the HSL with 1400 grade lining paper and then painted over it with Dulux Trade Matt emulsion. After the first coat some seems were still slightly visible so filled with Red Devil OneTime and rubbed down slightly, and went over the filled areas with a rad roller. I've then...
