Dulux Diamond Eggshell
What a great product to use on interior woodwork. Easy to use , very quick drying and stays white forever as it’s waterbased. They even sell it in Wickes for all you DIY ers.
Papering A Staircase
When papering a staircase always start with the longest drop and work from it.
Stairmate
Stairmate is a great bit of kit when papering a staircase. It saves on getting scaffold boards or planks when it allows you to work off a ladder against the wall on a flight of stairs.
Bedec Aqua Advanced
From pure rot to revived windows all ready to gloss with Bedec Aqua Advanced. It’s a waterbased polyurethane gloss finish which is quick drying/ flexible and stays white forever. Goodbye to Solvent gloss. It costs around £45 for a 2.5 litre and I use it over acrylic primer /undecoat.
Stripe Wallpaper
To do a feature wall in stripes I centralise the wall in order to get even stripes each end.
Painting Over Waxed Woodwork
First you need to rub through the woodwork with wire wool or a scourer soaked in methylated spirits making sure you wear surgical gloves. Wipe off with a rag and allow to dry. Then I chose to use Zinsser All Coat which is white in colour solvent based and quick drying. It sticks to any surface without the need for sanding. I did a scratch test and it really does the job.
