[kebab king]

Artex sealer if its megre hi suction.

 

[spunky]

Do you need to do anything else over artex sealer jj?

 

[kebab king]

Na, just 1 coat and its usable as soon as its dry to the touch, normally bout 20 mins or so.

 

[spunky]

Cool I might have a go on my next reskim ...do you water it down?

 

[kebab king]

Apparently you can do, but i never have, you need to clean your rollers etc soon as you have finnished.

 

[beddy]

Not cheap though is it?

I just put my pva/wba/bond it/artex sealer rollers in a carrier bag rolled up tight so theres no air in it & it keeps em like it for days/weeks take out bag next time & its ready to use, saves washing em out :RpS_thumbup:

About £9 for 2.5l

 

[kebab king]

Just add a extra £10 on ya price.

 

[spunky]

Steve apparently if you water it down 1-1 you get 75m out of 2.5l

 

[beddy]

In that case I'm watering it down 4:1

 

[spunky]

yep that's fine if it's board finish
