rusty beading
- Thread starter Emma22

Do you mean one of the corner beads used to form the corner by the plasterers.
These are supposed to be galvinised but I have seen them rust before.
I normally apply a coat of shellac- eg Zinsser BIN- before recoating with emulsion.

As PaulC suggested- oil based u/c will suffice
I reccomended Zinsser because it is shellac based and dries in minutes as opposed to hours.
It is available in areosol or liquid forms. The later will need household cleaning ammonia to wash out the brush. Alternatively you could use knotting solution if you have some to hand (also shellac based).
B&Q et al tend to be over priced and often sell inferior goods- the only advantage over your local decorator's merchant is the later opening hours.
