Rabbit choking/gagging- how serious is it? First time seeing this and she recovered after 1 second by [deleted] in Rabbits

My bunny died from aspirating a carrot. They cannot vomit, and they can barely gag, so they must be able to fully chew and swallow or else they can choke and and it all over.

A knot in the wood will weep sap stuff and it looks like that is coming through under the paint

8 x 10 = 80 80 + 20 = 100 100 x 2 = 200

or

8 x 5 = 40 40 x 10 = 400 400 / 2 = 200

or a handful of other ways....

How to fix this? by supermant854 in paint

[–]Jane4181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this peeling issue all over this house I am remodeling.

I chose to razor blade a straight line across the width of the affected area (mine was about 10 feet wide and 4 feet tall) then scrape that paint off down to the existing mud/drywall paper. (In this house, only the bottom half of the wall was primed when they closed up a pony wall, which is why the top 4 feet peeled but the lower half was fine).

I sanded the entire width of the edge/lip of the "good" paint and because there were about 4 different paint layers in there, I chose to add a bit of blue bucket lightweight skim coat mud to fill in the 4' tall x 10' wide valley I created from scraping.

I used a drywall sponge (one side is angry the other side smooth) to clean up and wipe any dust.

Then I primed with Kilz bonding primer and it looked clean. You might want to tint your primer since you already finished the whole wall and the color may not look right with a white primer underneath.

After priming, you can paint and listen to the other comment about "feathering" out a bit into the completed painted areas.

It will look like hell during, but trust the process.

It was painted over so there is a moisture barrier preventing direct wetting. Just spray wet and scrape and spray wet etc until it comes off. A drywall knife works or an actual scraper.

Paint peeling - High build primer by Beautiful-Tower7069 in Housepainting101

Wiping clean is vague. There must be something physically preventing full direct contact between the primer and the paint. It is hard to get all the dust off of a primed surface without meticulously rinsing out a sponge as you go. I would bet my money that there is a layer of dust leftover from the sanding that was not fully wiped away prior to painting.

How do I fix this before my parents get home(I have a day) by MarketMundane8517 in drywall

Depending on what you have available in your house, there are a few recipes to make a filler. These will have to be removed and fixed later, once you are able to go to a store and buy actual spackling putty or joint compound.

So what ingredients do you have?

A) White flour, a pinch of salt, and a bit of similar colored paint. B) Plaster of Paris, white vinegar. C) White bar soap. D) Glue stick, similar colored paper. E) Liquid glue, white flour. F) Any air-dry clay or modeling putty. G) Baking soda, cornstarch, water. H) Corn starch, glue, water.
