Hi all, any advice on this would be appreciated.
I have a bathroom wall that is tiled up to half way up from the floor. The tiler used a very thick bed of cement (about 1 cm thick). Along the top edge, the cement is clearly visible and it is not very even. I'm painting the wall above and would like to paint over the 1 cm of tile cement right up the the edge of the tiles (can you visualise what I'm describing?). Because it's uneven, I'd like to put a thin layer of filler to square it off before I paint. Condensation will tend to run down the wall and onto the top edge of the tiles.
What filler should I use and how should I prepare it to take the final coats of paint. In some spots, the layer of filler will have to be quite thin so I need something that will adhere well to the tile cement, can accept paint and will withstand condensation run-off.
