@dmack1443 6 лет назад

Good video thank you..I normally give 'filled & sanded' areas a quick wipe with a damp rag prior to repainting so any dust doesn't affect adhesion.

@HoudalothAli 4 года назад

Great video. My paint bubbled up in a bedroom above a radiator. I scraped it off and it revealed the plaster. I then reapplied the paint and it adhered to the plaster. I have ready mixed pollyfilla in a tub so will use that. But need to get PVA bond. I have 120 grade sandpaper which I know is too course. But I spotted uneven steps on that area and other parts of the room. Walls directly exposed to the outside.

@trevhib 3 года назад

Nice work and great result. This sort of job is ok when the surrounding paintwork is fresh and you know the colour. I don't know how it's possible in a property where the paintwork in the surrounding area is tired (other than paint the whole wall, possibly the whole room). Also, as a Handyman working in rental properties, multiple periods of waiting on a small job like this is a no-go (as there's no way landlords want to pay for multiple visits). Sometimes you have to fill so lightly with a ready mixed filler, that you can get away with no sanding AND very carefully paint over the top of it 15 minutes later with an industry standard magnolia (and hope that it matches well enough!). The result isn't like yours of course but with a bit of practice it can be done to an acceptable level.

@MarcGray1990 6 лет назад

To stop possible flashing of the filler when painted... ie when you can still see the difference in colour underneath, you can mix some of the paint in with the powder filler! Tints the filler to more of the topcoat colour, less coats of paint to cover it 😜. Marc

@CharlieDIYte 3 года назад

Thanks Steve. Yes making the right quantity is tricky with this stuff, which is why I typically fly in the face of conventional wisdom and add water to the filler rather than the other way round.

@shannonbedford7280 4 года назад

This is super helpful. I put painters tape on my newly painted wall, I'd followed all the right instructions - sanded, cleaned, primed, painted with two coats, used the blue tape - still when I peeled off the tape (ceiling to floor in the room corner), a lot of the paint lifted. There don't seem to be any other decent videos showing you how to fix damage from painters tape, just a whole lot of videos telling you how to pull the tape off sucessfully (which didn't work).

@CharlieDIYte 4 года назад

Hi Shannon, yes, I've learnt the painful way never to put painters tape on newly painted wall. You just have to cut in the next wall by hand. It doesn't matter how well you mist coat the bare plaster before painting, you'll always take off the paint, particularly if there's a bit of damp in the walls.

@shannonbedford7280 4 года назад

@@CharlieDIYte When I say newly painted, it was nearly a week ago! It was well dry.

@CharlieDIYte 4 года назад

Yes but I did the same thing in my son's room that I had personally mist coated a year or two previously, and took a load of the ceiling paint off when I taped it so I could paint up to it on the wall. Never again.

Hi Charlie, great video as always. Any recommendations for filler for filling areas that might be susceptible to movement, such as under the stairs where the staircase joins the wall, and where bits of plaster have come away behind the screws that hold the plaster in place. Could something like low modulus silicone be used, and if so how well can you paint over it? Thanks

Hi Charlie, did you know if you add a little bit of salt to the filler it sets a lot quicker. Great if you don't have the time to hang about waiting for it to go off. Do a video of it please and experiment to see how much salt you need. Keep up the great work, love watching your videos. All the best, Chris

@CharlieDIYte 6 лет назад

jordancorey That's interesting mate! The only thing I'd say is that in my experience this filler goes off so quickly I almost don't need to add anything to speed it up - particularly on such a shallow repair. I'll be sure to let you know though if I experiment with that on a video!!

@mog2848 6 лет назад

thank you. last thing. would i need to prime the walls with anything as i want to paint my walls grey and what would i prime it with after applying pva ? appreciate your time

@CharlieDIYte 6 лет назад

adwaan riviera What I meant was you PVA the wall before plastering. You then apply a mist cost to the new plaster before painting. A mist cost is basically a watered down coat of emulsion paint - anywhere between 30% and 50% paint to water. I wouldn't apply PVA before painting.

@ball3r425 2 года назад

Hey Charlie Great video and well explained. Any chance you could do one on screw pop repairs? We had our house done about 6 months ago and these things have appeared all over the place!!

@CharlieDIYte 2 года назад

For that you want to get yourself a box of Easi-Fill - this is ideal www.toolstation.com/gyproc-easifill-filler-5-x-1kg/p58172 as it comes in small bags so you're not opening the whole thing for a small repair. I show you how to use it in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6Omsv5-NN9k.html and you should get some continental filler knives to apply it. Leave it very slightly proud of the surface, lightly sand it back when set, with a 180 grit sand paper and when painted the repair will be invisible 👍

@TheNomadicTrader 4 года назад

Great tutorial as always Charlie. I would do the same procedure but with a few ammendments: Feather the edges of the paint not score it to help key and blend the edges of the repair better. Add a blob of paint to the filler when mixing it to produce a 'hard stop' filler. This prevents flashing through the top coat.

@CharlieDIYte 6 лет назад

Matthew Collins Hi Matthew thanks so much for that comment - it's a great boost to hear positive comments like that so thanks for taking the time to post it! You need a paint that will withstand high condensation - because if you just use a standard emulsion the danger is that the moisture will sink into your wall and if you're really unlucky draw out any dirt etc that was in the plaster leaving you with dark patches (as happened to me once!) I used an acrylic durable eggshell for my new bathroom that I bought from Johnstone's, like this goo.gl/ZhKF4z. I really like the Farrow and Ball colours but I think the quality of their paint is rubbish so I take the Farrow and Ball paint chart into my local Johnstone's Decorators Centre as they mix the Farrow and Ball colour but using their own paint - which I think is much better quality. Google Johnstone's Decorators Centre and see if there are any in your area. They have a massive selection of paints and are usually pretty knowledgeable behind the counter. Failing that see what other decorators centres are around. A lot of manufacturers Dulux etc do paint specifically branded as bathroom paint eg goo.gl/mGqoQK so you could always go down to your local DIY store and see if they can do one (or mix one) in your chosen colour.

@JoeProDecor 4 года назад

Great video once again...it's a good day if you can get an acrylic eggshell to touch in tbh...anything that has sheen tends to show, even some vinyl Matt's and durable Matt emulsions, especially deeper tints. In fact Johnstons paints have even formulated a paint specially to combat this issue called Johnstones Perfect Matt. I find most whites, off whites and some light bases usually touch in ok in contract Matt's and most vinyl Matt's....its always a risk. Toupret is fantastic filler and is very unlikely to flash or shrink 👍👌

@CharlieDIYte 4 года назад

Thanks mate. Some great tips there. Yes I agree - got lucky with that. I'm back on the Easi-Fill now but I suspect it's exactly the same stuff.

Thanks so much for this! We're moving out now and this has worked perfectly! However there was one bit (about 2'×2') that I had tried to clean with one of those "magic erasers" and it turns out that the whole wall is dirty.

Great work! If you have the same paint the wall was painted in, you may be able to spot paint the patch only without it flashing, but some paints eg eggshell and matts do flash meaning you may have to paint the whole wall.

Really useful thanks! We've just stripped the wallpaper off our hall wall revealing the original cream paintwork, with a single row of green stenciled vines near the top. It looks like it's one coat of paint on plaster, and very smoothly done until the paper was removed. Some paint flaked off with the wallpaper and/or wallpaper scraper so I now know how to prep before repainting, thanks for the video. However, I have no idea what kind of paint was used, and am guessing the stenciling was done with an oil-based paint? How do I discover which paint to use when repainting the entire wall, or would it just be easier to put up lining paper? Thanks Charlie

@CharlieDIYte Год назад

I would use something like Zinsser Cover Stain (or Zinsser BIN) and then paint over it with a couple of coats of good quality emulsion. Good quality because with cheap stuff the cover stain might show through.

@CharlieDIYte 6 лет назад

Yes you can skim on a dry wall plasterboard. It's a good idea to PVA, because as the plasterboard ages, it's suction may increase, so a coat of PVA will seal it nicely in preparation for the Gyproc plaster.

@albertpolzinski7548 5 лет назад

It seems to make the biggest difference as to when the original paint was applied. If your paint was damaged after about a year, then you will take notice of a patch being painted much more than had the damage been shortly after the paint was applied. In part, the paint on the patch will not match the original color as well, and will catch your attention possibly caused by the paints' exposure to the light and other environmental factors over the duration of time since it was first applied.

I did a video here on mist coating ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jTjlaAU1NzY.html and you should have been fine so long as the emulsion you used was a contract matt (not vinyl) and permits being watered down - you have to check the tin for this as bizarrely some don't. Is it peeling off in large patches? I'm afraid you're going to have to get a painters knife and remove the loose stuff as best you can and then feather the edges with a fine sand paper before trying to repaint.

Same thing happened to me! Did you manage to sort it out? It’s hard to find any info online about this issue.

Could you use a pre mixed filler? If so do you have an recommendations

@CharlieDIYte 4 года назад

Hmmm. You could but I can't vouch for the performance. You could perhaps try a light weight filler like Tout Pret REDLITE - it's incredibly light and feels like snow to the touch and is designed for small surface defects. Generally pre mixed don't have the performance of a filler or adhesive you have to mix.

Thanks mate 👊🏻

Same problem but on the exterior, and with much bigger areas of peeled paint. Would i use the same method here? But on a bigger scale?

@CharlieDIYte Год назад

You could try something like Toupret www.toolstation.com/toupret-touprelith-f-masonry-repair-filler/p15678?store=I6&mkwid=_dm&pcrid=&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtamlBhD3ARIsAARoaEwFLLTVkM2TTUwMJDZn4z3bSyrH0TNWpDBl1O0me2kYRuQjlRi3nBkaAjx9EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Hi Charlie , I have papered (lining paper) a room and let it dry over the weekend . Wanting the job to be as near perfect as poss I filled one or two tiny gaps in some of the joints with the very lightweight filler available now . After two coats of good quality matt emulsion , you guessed it, the filled areas are showing (flashing?) through . I wondered if any of the stain block primers would do the trick and give me a consistent surface . any suggestions would be really appreciated . By the way Ididnt thin the first coat as I thought that was only when going onto new plaster '.

Hi Richard. So I've checked with a pro decorator on my Discord forum and we could do with a photo or two to see what's happened (email me charliediyte@gmail.com). The filler shouldn't really flash like this unless you haven't rubbed it down sufficiently. He uses Zinsser Guardz of he's worried about flashing but too use this on a newly painted wall you'd need to rub it down again first.

Hey, I need some serious advice. So I ordered homebase silk paint and painted over my old silk painted wall but it started to BUBBLE everywhere! When you pop the bubble the paint peels off like butter. So I sanded it down, applied gardz and then repainted with a matt paint emulsion. This started to bubble also so I started to remove the old paint but it's left some very large patches. How would you go about fixing it?

@CharlieDIYte 2 года назад

What's happened here I reckon is the plaster was never sealed properly with a mist coat ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jTjlaAU1NzY.html so you really need to peel off the original paint and start again. Gardz is great stuff but it's prevented from doing its job because it's adhering to the paint below which in turn isn't properly keyed into the plaster.

Didn't notice a step that included the use of the Gyproc Easi-Fill - Do you use EITHER the Toupret OR the Gyproc?

@CharlieDIYte 3 года назад

Yes, either. They're both pretty similar.

@janjobson133 5 лет назад

Hi. Do you have to do the filler thing if you're going to repaint the whole wall a different colour?

@leenahaudio 3 года назад

Good question. I think you do still need to do it

@ChilliAndWotsits 2 года назад

If you have this problem, over a large area (think posters & sticky blue stuff!), how would you go about it?

@CharlieDIYte 2 года назад

Same principle, just patch the small areas with the Easi-Fill, light sand and then paint. You might have to repaint the whole wall of the paint flashes.

@ApexGaming 3 года назад

Could you use patch putty instead of the filler?

@CharlieDIYte 3 года назад

I'm not familiar with that except being putty I suspect it wouldn't spread thin enough.

@robertrowan9893 3 года назад

If the last comment is in regards of the bloke's voice, I immediately think of James Cracknell. Either way, I'll be using PVA as of tomorrow. I wish I'd said that X years ago!

@oaksey66 4 года назад

Hi Charlie, another brilliant video, did paint all of that wall or just patch paint around the affected area?

@CharlieDIYte 4 года назад

Thanks mate. I actually just patch painted which worked great with the Johnstone's emulsion and was an invisible patch but talk to any painter and they'll say this can't be done and you need to repaint the whole wall. So I guess it's just luck of the draw depending on which paint you've got.

@paigeodette 3 года назад

Hi when you did the second coat you just painted around the damage and didn’t have to paint to whole wall right?

@CharlieDIYte 3 года назад

Correct but whether you can do that does depend on the type of emulsion you've got. The flat matts tend to be harder to patch repair as you can often see the patched area. However I have just done something similar in my bedroom that was painted with a Johnstone's flat matt, and you can't really tell, so maybe experiment on a small area first.

@TheLynneee 3 года назад

Can you use polyfiller?

@lizbee726 4 года назад

Good stuff just what I needed. Kids put duck tape on wall & removed huge chunk of paint. Now I know how to fix it. BTW Can I use any PVA glue? I don't want to go to expense of buying a heap of expensive products I don't need. 😂🙏

@CharlieDIYte 4 года назад

I don't see why not. Just make sure you water it down, and be sparing with it.
