Handyman, you said just today i was painting wet plaster. It was skimmed to remove the artex yesterday. It was mainly all dry appart from the usual 'patches' So this was not wet, but drying! What is your point with this? If its a definition over whats wet and whats drying out then we will be here arguing the toss for ages. Not only that if the plaster was still wet how on earth could you paint it without the brush or the roller indenting and spoiling the surface - or are there now degrees of wetness?
telmay, i'm not making a point about wetness of plaster, please re read what i've posted so far. Its obvious its for day old plaster thats drying out, not a skim done 1/2 hr ago. What i'm making a point about is some people on here just dismissing a valid paint product (and how its used)
Its another one of those then! Nobody here has dismised the product, its a good one and most on here use Supermat, what has caught everybody's eye was the original post; painted on top of plaster that was still visibly wet The blokes on the box are chancing their arm as they are on a deadline for a TV show, the plaster was wet the product is designed for plaster drying out, just like your ceiling skim, not as the plasters are washing down their tools.
i hope you were not referring to me when you said people were dismissing a valid product. i just said that you should not paint on wet plaster. didn't say anything about the product
Or me. Supermatt is an excellent product, but I still would not paint on wet plaster. I think Telmay's points are the same as mine. However, if you want to paint plaster a few minutes after it has been applied that's up to you but i wouldn't recommend it if someone asked me
the pair of you say "its not me, but i wouldnt" (near enough anyway).......and as i said, its drying plaster skim, so the next day for painting, not a few minutes after. Thers always a 'but', with people with closed minds......these people are normally OAPs
Closed minds? OAP? Are you taking the **** or just on the wind-up? If you are then - yeah funny I snapped at the bait. If not then you obviously dont know when YOU have got it wrong, and all because you cant read instructions. And your messages on the subject also contradict each other - one min its wet and we are missing a trick, the next its of course its a drying skim etc etc
Just to wrap this up, you said; you can paint on wet plaster with non vinyl matt. Dulux trade do a supermatt thats for this purpose and then you said; So, to sum up, yes cosworth, you are missing a trick, as is some other members but then you said; wet v still drying out...... and then we get the change of mind when you said; Its obvious its for day old plaster thats drying out, not a skim done 1/2 hr ago. and to top it all off there is a lot of nipping i.e. OAP's and closed minds. I think befire you start taking the **** in future you need to get your facts right
the only thing i didnt state at the start (which is obvious) is that you dont paint the plaster 1/2 hr later. Thats it. Dont take it out on me, just cois your set in your ways
nothing wrong with being set in your ways. anyway i use supermatt all the time Ahhh but....when yer "set in yer ways" ..yer closed minded to any new products, or time saving gear.
i have a fancy new product called a 'car'. Its great, but i dont use it on motorways, as i feel its not safe to do so. I've just made my 'narrow' mind up on this issue, so will not change it.
right, i have already said that i got the wording wrong, i should have said still drying, not wet. What you cant accept is this paint can be painted on still drying paint. So to make it perfectly clear i will now say it for the 3rd time.....i got my wording wrong, it was to be painted on still drying plaster, not wet plaster. This i believed would be obvious to even a oap, but i accept i got this wording wrong
just admit it you got it wrong or you just cant reason so, before you posted this, i'd already said about the wording, which has now been said twice again. What is it i have got wrong then? I would say its painting on still drying plaster with supermatt........
The big point that you have said that the product has been dismissed - well it hasnt at all, and whats all this sh1te about being an OAP?
