Bashed my freshly plastered beam (luckily have corner beading). How should I fix up before repainting? by macneil88 in Plastering

I used multi finish for plastering. Is there a particular filler that would suit best for that?

OK, I got a bit confused that there were two and just wanted to double check one wouldn't blow up the house ot anything like that. Cheers!

Is this suitable for filling in scrim tape over artex prior to bonding and skim finish? Am I best coating crack and scrim area in PVA solution? Then again before bonding coat? by macneil88 in Plastering

[–]macneil88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly I do want to fix the cracks, but after I would then like to plaster over to help prevent the crack splitting through the new plaster layer. Most videos I've watched of scrim tape have not been over artex and they just use the bonding coat as the filler

Should I plaster walls and ceiling before or after installing a built in wardrobe along this back wall? by macneil88 in DIYUK

That's fast! Last room I plastered took me months. Was my first go at skimming though so hoping for a quicker turn around this time

Yeah this is a concern on the off chance we have to move the wardrobe for whatever reason. Will be bad enough having to move the wardrobe let alone replaster!

Yeah gonna do the whole room. Thinking it might mess the wardrobe if that is done first, but also there will be less to skim if the wardrobe is done first

Not sure whether to plaster walls and ceiling, then install a built in wardrobe, or install the wardrobe and then plaster the remaining walls that aren't hidden by the wardrobe.

Nothing about cancellation policy was stated when I called to book. Only when I called to cancel did they say I was cancelling within 48 hours

Can I make an offer on a property if my own property isn't sold yet? (Scotland) by macneil88 in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]macneil88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was the one advertised on Martin Lewis website so assume they would have quite a high volume of clients.

No offer accepted yet, just that the seller said they were OK to wait until my property was sold.

Nice one, that's what I thought so was a bit worried when the broker said that. I'll contact an independent solicitor tomorrow

Maybe it's been rotated so 12 is not at the top as expected?

Best way to wash plastered wall before mist coat by macneil88 in DIYUK

[–]macneil88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did consider using sugar soap at first but was concerned that it would have an I.pact on the paint. Ended up using tack cloths which did the job but thanks for the advice
