    Our house was in the past painted with distemper so when I have done ceilings before I have stripped the paint off in sheets and then painted with stabilising solution before emulsion.
    I went to get the stabilising solution today to do the landing and it has gone solid.
    Bearing in mind that I have only used 2.5L in 10 years and that includes doing an exterior wall which I bought it for in the first place I don't really want to spend £20 + on another 5 litres.
    What, if any, are the alternatives?

    Cheers.
    Other than online I can't find it cheaper than £20 and I need it tomorrow.

    That isn't what I was looking for, is on the internet not a shop and costs £15 for 1L rather than the £20 for 5L I didn't want to pay.
    Do you need to have a check up on your medication levels as you seem a bit disorientated recently?

    It's a PITA but the everbuild 406 doesn't seem to be available locally so will have to buy a different solution for more money. First off though I'm going to punch a hole in the bottom of the existing tin and see what comes out.
