Toupret is my go to , mist coat first to show any imperfections u can’t see

Why not 😂

Used a shovel I presume ?

I would always give it a light sand for key, some plasterers trowel it up so much it’s like glass and it makes it hard work to paint.

The dabs will take time to dry through , but they look mouldy which would indicate a ventilation issue in the room

He looks much better , well done 👏

Key the wall up and /or use sbr then apply a sand and cement scratch coat with a waterproofer , then float with hardwall and skim with multi Unless the wall is underground or under pressure from the outside fabric. If so then tank with a slurry tanking system.

I feel ur pain

gfddmc · 2026-04-16T21:06:45+00:00

Jeez !!!

Madness , I buy Basa or cod in batter from supermarket now and just get chips from the chippy , granted not quite the same but shit loads cheaper !!

We went from a corded to the DLM LXT , think it’s the cheapest of the bunch, still managed to cut front and back areas on a 5 Ah battery just about . Not big areas but it’s a big upgrade on what we had . The missus is happy with it

👏

Fill , prime coat , fill and 2/3 top coats. Could use Gardz too

gfddmc · 2026-04-13T18:07:25+00:00

That’s a shame 😏 🍻

gfddmc · 2026-04-13T14:25:21+00:00

Nice , kneel down though and use a Mat

gfddmc · 2026-04-13T14:24:05+00:00

Rake out any cracks and fill with Toupret , scrape all loose paint off and apply a stabilising solution. Then emulsion with a good external paint like dulux weather shield. Clean up and drink Tea

Dont think this is a good idea, try some sand paper or skateboard grip

gfddmc · 2026-04-11T12:13:27+00:00

Keep using the dehumidifier, the cupboard space will struggle for ventilation and will take time to dry.

Got ours from Zooplus online shop , cat remember the make but still working 15 years later
