(As you can see from the photo) the result was great and it still attracts many comments even a year on.

The Wooster Dust Eater is another lightbulb moment for solving the problem of how to clean dust off walls and ceilings, prior to painting.

Frustrating but it was an easy fix with a continental knife…..time consuming but saved on the sanding a good deal. Well, it should have saved on the sanding.

But I found that the 10″ spreader was too large to fit into the tub. Sounds a minor detail but frustrating. So I loaded the spreader using a cheap flexible filling knife. Cleaner for me but probably sounds a little time too consuming if you are a pro?

I think I heard talk of adapting the Dust Eater as a wall sander, but maybe I was hallucinating. With that surface area, it would need a phenomenal extractor set-up for anything beyond a swift denib between coats. Thanks Andrew for making the effort to write this article explaining what you did right, wrong and what you learned for next time.

That’s not to underestimate the paint or indeed the tools, but just to see the finish after filling & sanding is a joy. I wish a picture could show & tell the improvement but it simply does not do it justice. Leaving it overnight to dry, the light that streamed in by mid morning highlighted a lot of (very small) imperfections. Not too surprising as I’m not exactly a plasterer. I put a second coat on which improved things. But the day after, there were still imperfections.

And so to paint. I was itching to use the new Eico paint but realised what a woeful collection of old roller sleeves I had. They were like the cardboard inset on loo rolls, it is amazing I even got the finish I had been getting. They were so hard you could probably kill someone if you threw it hard enough. The new trade sleeves are great and as cheap as those from the DIY sheds. Don’t leave in-ceiling 50w Halogen bulbs lit for 3 days solid and then try to move them around. I have no fingerprints left on the left hand, what with hot bulbs and hand sanding with the Abranet. Dust Management I also found that a hand sander was better in some areas than the powered orbital sander. Nothing wrong with the Flex, but in restricted, hard to reach areas it’s just too unwieldy with the hoses & adapters. Roller Choice The 3/8th Wooster roller is excellent but I found the Micro Plush one better somehow. Or maybe I’m just not applying paint correctly? I wondered if I might be applying the paint too thin? Although I’m getting a nice result I’m not sure I have the right roller technique. I am happy for pointers on that one. Paint

Organise the work area properly

Even if you don’t ruin the equipment, you are sure to sprain an ankle. I’ve never been too hot on the H&S side of work, but I’m starting to see why it’s worth the time to remove obstacles. Hand Sanding sometimes best I am very particular and spent so much time sanding, but discovered I had been sanding areas that were in fact absolutely fine, simply because I could not see the problem area. With an inspection light at an angle I could see that 90%+ was perfect & only some areas needed the extra sanding. What a revelation. Probably you pros all know this & do this, but I must have wasted two days sanding areas I need not have done. Basic Brush Mate Clover Chemicals Coral Eco Union Go!

It’s a 1920 double bow window affair, the Margo & Gerry type house and we have extended, expanded and modified every single aspect of it several times over and over many years.

The surface looks very much like those polished concrete floors & walls you get in designer homes. Cleaning up for paintingWith my (home decorator) kit bag it’s a fair bit of effort to reach the very high standards I was after. With a professional kit bag of Mirka, Festools etc, I cannot imagine ‘not’ doing it this way. In the main, good quality trade materials are not costing any more than shed stuff. In some cases less.
