Hi Joanne, do i need to water down the paint (mist coat) to go over the filler or straight over the dry filler with neat paint top coat, thanks Kevin

Always find your uploads helpful

I’ve used regular toupret filler to mend such gaps and they always reemerge after some time. The only method that worked for me is to use joint tape in conjunction with the filler. Please let me know what I may be missing. Thanks

Hi Joanne, any tips for painting a garage floor please? Used a couple of coats of Blackfriars polyurethane paint last time, but it still chipped/came off after dropping metal tools. Thanks for your work and tips and all the best for 2025!

What about dark grey wall can use that paint ?

Very helpful, thank you! Papering my first room ever tomorrow.

Can you do a video on trimming tight corner and edges cause I always cut too much then it gets worse 😮

Bought my Superpower brush there, thanks to your earlier vid 👏

Is that a Festool that you use?

I use blades from lidl for me they do same job keep up the good informative work joanne

Great vid, thanks! Most tutorials show those new, shiny, straight plaster corner walls, where using a corner roller keeps your strip 'laser straight' throughout. The reality is slightly different with old houses, and an uneven corner could take you off the level.

Great tutorial Joanne, I'm a decorator of 30 years and I couldn't explain it as well as you've done here. Sometimes we just have to accept that the paper isn't going to match around an internal and that's the end of it. Some corners I've done over the years are shaped like an hourglass, some fall out 3 or 4 inches over a couple of metres and some are beautifully square and plumb but we just have to do our best. I get alot of younger decorators wanting to sub their papering jobs out to me these days so I'm unsure if they're even teaching it in college anymore. Keep up the great work. 👍

Brilliant tutorial! What was the sander you used?

Good Decorator

lovellllyyyyy

My brand new knife just snagged all the paper, and it was a mess, then it tore.

Great tip 👍

Yep gotta agree. The opacity is fantastic. My go to used to be Crown Clean Extreme but terrible in white.

What's the best way to repair the hole for down lights that have been damaged instead of using those ugly plastic rings

Hi Joanne, a quick question. I've just been on B&Q website looking at reviews for the Valspar. Apparently, a woman had a painter and decorator apply this product & after 12 months, it started to crack & peel off. I've used the Valspar exterior paint & it's dreadful. I've even had a customer call me after using the masonry paint & after two years the paint is literally peeling off of the walls. I wondered if you've used the interior paint & seen what it looks like after a year has passed. Thank you.

Hi can I ask for some advice I’ve got a staircase to paint and it’s old white oiled based atm and they want it painted in waterbased white satinwood I know you use Johnstones paint spindles and they want a black hand rail what undercoat do you use because I don’t want the black hand rail to chip tia Jo

Great to know Joanne. I've listened to the video,so I won't be saying this that & the other as you've named the product I use. I will certainly buy a tub & try out. Great video as always 👍

What paint is that

Looks fantastic 😊

You could put a spacer behind the plastic straight edge

Another great video 👍

I'll check it out, my go to is Macphersons durable acrylic matt at the moment

Same colour loads of spindles 😢 I'm on this week. Hate them 😂 good tips 👍

Excellent finish can i ask what paint did you use?

Great idea. Any other cheaper options for ceilings than Tik? Heard it's gone downhill recently. Thanks.

Sometimes its how its polished by the plasterer. I've seen this done by the book mist coat and its not keyed to the plaster.

What make of rollers do you use?

3:45 That is talent! Good job on the wallpaper hanging. Most people say go round the corner. I like your way. 💪🏻

Your van do organised 😀 it’s giving me inspiration to sort mine out 👍well done !

Which brand of paper are you using with your Festool? I've heard the Mirka ones are really good. Only used the Festool ones so far

Great video, have you got any with you wallpapering a window with a radiator below with pipes and a double socket all on one wall, would really help 🤪

Great information, I only use toupret it’s simply the best 👍

Thanks for the tips Joanne, I'm learning as I go 👍

There wood filler is overrated, easi fill is good gear though.

Amazing stuff. Had the pleasure of using it last week on panneling. Was VERY impressed. Have you used thete cova plus?

Hi how do you stop your filler from flashing? Thank you for all your videos x

Do u charge per job or do u try to make set amount away say 200

Hi Joanne do you undercoat the door first?

CT1 never let me down yet.👍

Could you use zinsser bin or gardz as well or peel stop better option ? Have super fine hairline crack in skim coat from several years ago need to do (cant even feel it with your nail)

Drop of M-1 latex extender helps give a bit more working time for WB paints , i prefer it to Floetrol.

So after you used the Gardz over the entire wall, do you still need to apply a mist coat?

I was trained to put newspaper under the door and working for my self I use linning paper to stop picking up any bits

Ive always wiped it down with a wet rag first so surface is clean and damp.😮

Brilliantly explained 👍❤️
