I guess that's why the previous comments were to do the whole house in one go rather than a room at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I don't want to say I told you so... On 23/06/2020 at 14:22, Mr Punter said: It is not really worth doing just one ceiling as it takes a while to set up and clean out. You can do the whole house in a day if it is prepped. Cover wires if they have been marked up. Make sure all the plaster is good before you start spraying. You can't easily touch in sprayed surfaces. Turn the nozzle round if it blocks. Good luck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Also . Paint sprayers use less paint ? Do they hell . This was sucking it up quicker than a nun at @Onoff ‘s bathroom opening ceremony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Better photo now it’s drying . Bit round the window isn’t the best . Can I spray ‘areas’ ? Or will that show ? I.e have to do the whole ceiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 In the Wagner ad the guys all smiley spreading blue paint all over a bleeding carpark. No spray , no nothing. Just mr. bloody happy! Presumably they have a stunt double who primes it, makes a mess; they then get rid of him and get "Smiley Wagnker " in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Decided to be brave and finally spray the ensuite ceiling . Forgot what a faff it is ! Noticed something different in the ensuite - paint would form ‘bubbles’ and then run down the curved ceiling !!! Now I mixed it with the tinyist bit of water ; tbh it doesn’t seem to mix very well at all . Even after 10 mins in a electric paddle mixer when you first spray it’s just water coming out . As though the water has ‘sank’ to the bottom . Seemed to almost use twice as much paint than last time . Pretty sure I had the pressure in ‘2’ - assume my bubbles are simply too much paint coming through . Again noticed when it hits the wall to ceiling area it hits the wall and bouncing off causing issues . Will check in 10 mins . Maybe overspray patches if need be . This was silk paint . Rest of build is emulation ; so hoping it ( I ! ) fair better . I’m not completely white this time . Though still 2 hours of ‘clearing ‘ up to do ......

Pocster Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Bubbles !!!!! I’ll sponge them gently out then over spray from a greater distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Argh ! Runs all down the ceiling curve ! sponged out ; it’s hot so drying real fast Just enough paint to really quickly over spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Ensuite ceiling will be less than perfect ! But I also remember from the bathroom when I re install the lighting it’s far less noticeable as the lighting is downwards . That’s the runniest silk paint I’ve ever used . But then again 99% of the time I use emultion . Is silk paint usually like p*ss ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Some photos - using camera flash so ‘up’ lighting !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hard to tell from photos . If I use the tip of my finger to touch the bubble paint comes off and bubble does ‘shrink ‘ . Problem is I’m inspecting it now close up and with a torch . So runs and plasterer imperfections even more obvious ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Wait until tomorrow and ‘proper’ lighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I'd suspect your silk paint - if it is full of sticky gloop then you are f*cked trying to spray it anyway no matter how much you mix it. You might as well be spraying pizza dough or flattening bubble gum with a rolling pin. Edited August 14, 2020 by Ferdinand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that’s done though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
