About this deal

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.

For the purposes of demoing the Dust Eater, I turned off my vacuum and sanded with the Mirka CEROS. (A picture of how decorating used to be done!) 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.Axus Decor Blue Dolphin Ciret Colron Dusty Boys Fast Mover Gripper Cloth Hyde Krud Kutter Mirka Norden OX Tools

This article on how to make plaster walls smooth for painting is full of tips and insights of use to DIY and trade. 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 Dust Eater is excellent, I thought. It works a treat, which is after all the nature of what TP is trying to demonstrate and I’m trying to copy. However, it was on the expensive side. Another day gone and more mid-morning sunlight revealed, to my surprise, a near perfect flat paint filler finish. It is quite something to see and indeed feel responsible for. Application of filler was relatively easy on the larger areas, of which there was only one! 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 left a rowing machine, a cross trainer & a multi gym in the room. What a mistake, when you also have piles of tools & materials and 4 full Henry bags of ‘Prestonett talcum powder’ lying around the work space. Even if you don’t decorate for a living or don’t do your own decorating, after reading this account from Andrew, a keen DIYer otherwise known as Amateur Hour64 over on the Traditional Painter forum, you will probably look much closer at a professionally plastered and painted wall and appreciate what you see. (And hope you don’t see this!) In terms of cost, the filler is practically for nothing & worth every penny. The Abranet comes at a cost, for sure, but it is so effective & lasts an age. It’s worth it. As I have tried to demonstrate, the tools are no more expensive than shed stuff & the paint is worth the extra for certain.
