Hello...
Im decorating my bedroom at the moment...i havent really done much decorating in the past so i just wanted to get some advice beefore rushing in and making a a mess of it... i have stripped the old wall paper... the wall are in pretty good condition apart from some small dents and cracks which need filling... and probably a sanding... i wanted to ask what is the best thing to use for filling small gaps, dents and holes... the holes are from where screws and raw plugs have been removed... i was told to use flexible filler like decorators chalk... but i wasnt sure if it can be sanded... what could you guys suggest.. also in going to rub down the wall will sand paper just to smooth off any other bumps and stuff... would i need to wash down the walls before applying any kind of paint or base paint... if so wat should i use to wash the walls with...
thanks for any adivce...
