You are very welcome.

That is good news Helen, glad you found the video helpful. Hope all goes well for you 😊

@@AubreysAbsoluteDecorating Thank you. Yes it’s has gone really well. I’m about to sand a panel door and paint that tomorrow. I’ve taken it off because I have dogs and it’s in an area where I can’t restrict their access. I will have a go at the rest on them in situ. Love your channel and glad I’ve found it. I will be working through your videos. Thank you 😎😁

Hope you find more of the videos helpful. Good luck with all your future decorating projects 😊

@@AubreysAbsoluteDecorating Thank you!

Thank you for your kind comment Suzanne 😊

Thank you, glad you are finding the videos helpful Suzanne 😊

Yes, that should be fine.

That is great news, glad it all went so well for you. Thank you for the very kind comment 😊

Glad it was helpful! 😊

That is great news, so glad you are finding the videos helpful 😊

Glad it was helpful! 😊

I agree it can be so annoying when after all your hard work sometime later the paintwork turns that yellowy colour. Hope all goes well when you change over to the water based system 😊

I never do and it works fine Jack.

That is great news that you are having a go at doing some DIY tasks. I hope all goes well with your projects. I have many other videos on the channel that may also be useful to you 😊

So glad you are finding the videos helpful. Thank you for the very kind comment Graeme 😊

That is great news, thank you for the very positive comment 😁

Contract matt has a history of being chosen to be applied to new plaster as its permeable qualities allows any moisture in the plaster to dry out naturally through the paint film. It does, however, not contain any resin such as vinyl, acrylic, or latex. This means it cannot be washed down and is easily marked. Most new houses are painted with contract matt and if you rub the walls with a damp cloth the paint will come off onto the cloth. Many decorators prefer to use thinned down vinyl matt emulsion for a mist coat and one or two further coats because of its durability and it does provide good adhesion for future coatings. If vinyl matt is to be used then the plaster must be fully dried out.

Aubrey. Thank you so much for the information. I now know the difference thanks to you. I really do appreciate your help and knowledge.

Yes, it can be a very messy job but it is essential to remove the old paste. To be safe, if you intend to emulsion the walls afterwards then first apply a coat of Zinsser Guards to seal the surface. Hope all goes well for you.

Glad you like the video Deborah, more are in the pipeline 😊

That is great news Daisy, so glad the videos gave you the confidence to get stuck in. The sense of achievement must have been fantastic. 😊

Thank you 😊

@@AubreysAbsoluteDecorating I'm actually got my new loft conversion ready to mist coat in a few weeks, once I've done the skirting, so the top tips are very timely 👌

Good stuff 😊

It may be a good idea to apply a further coat of matt emulsion which has not been thinned down before applying the vinyl silk. This will help to provide an even sheen finish over the whole surface without patches of uneven shine.

That is great news, hope all goes well for you 😊

A lot of decorators will tell you not to use contract mat.

@hardworker8030 what do they use please?

@@chrissterling9924 I’ve come across customers who have used thinned down PVA. Ok if you’re going to wallpaper over it but there is a chance if you painted it then the surface will ‘crazy pave’. Thinned down Contract Matt the cheapest and best solution in my opinion!

@@chrissterling9924 I'm not a decorator but some will say use optiva primer. The vinyl he showed can be used as a mist coat according to the tin. With contract matt it will absorb any moisture and some painters are reporting different brands of paint does not bond to contract matt. If you look when he's painting it on its not absorbing into the plaster so is this the correct paint for dry plaster.

Thank you for your kind comments. I can understand why you may have concerns regarding this. It is essential that you fully wash down the surface after removing the wallpaper before applying any paint. I would suggest applying a thinned down emulsion over a test area first to ensure that there ae no problems with the applied paint like cracking, slow drying or flaking. If all goes well then apply a thinned own coat of the matt emulsion followed by two further coats. otherwise, try applying a coat of Zinsser Guards which is a great product for sealing areas which have wallpaper paste residue on them. Hope all goes well for you.

Yes, first apply a thinned down coat of matt emulsion over the bare areas first.

Thank you for the kind comment Derek. I have also come across this sort of problem several times. There is a lot more to painting and decorating than many people realise. However, it has been said to me many times that these sort of DIY problems keep decorators busy sorting them out.

That is great news, glad you are enjoying the channel. More videos in the pipeline 😊

Thank you! 😃

It will be safe to apply the matt emulsion over the existing matt emulsion.

@@AubreysAbsoluteDecorating Thanks. Even though the existing emulsion is vinyl?

Yes, that will be fine.

Hi Aubrey. Thanks for the replies. I've just found out that the previous owner always used Dulux Vinyl Silk (not matt), so it seems I'll have to Zinsser the ceiling/coving first. I have a few tins of Dulux Eggshell (water-based) left from a previous room. Is eggshell OK for ceilings and coving (after the Zinsser)? Thanks

Water based eggshell is often used for painting woodwork, kitchen units and walls where a tough and durable finish is required. You could use it on the surfaces you mention, however it is not normally applied to ceilings.

That's the fun part 😂

Glad you think so! 😊

Thank you, glad you found it helpful James 😊

Thanks Mark 😊

Thank you 😊

Thank you Shelley, glad you like it 😊

That is great news William, thank you 😊

Thank you very much!

You can paint water based over the primer.
