paint
Paint is any pigmented liquid, liquefiable, or solid mastic composition that, after application to a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film. It is most commonly used to protect, color, or provide texture to objects. Paint can be made or purchased in many colors—and in many different types, such as watercolor or synthetic. Paint is typically stored, sold, and applied as a liquid, but most types dry into a solid. Most paints are either oil-based or water-based and each has distinct characteristics. For one, it is illegal in most municipalities to discard oil-based paint down household drains or sewers. Clean-up solvents are also different for water-based paint than they are for oil-based paint. Water-based paints and oil-based paints will cure differently based on the outside ambient temperature of the object being painted (such as a house.) Usually, the object being painted must be over 10 °C (50 °F), although some manufacturers of external paints/primers claim they can be applied when temperatures are as low as 2 °C (35 °F).
Done a feature wall in split face, customer was dead happy with it. I've sealed it using fila pt10 wet look colour enhancer, which is the look he wanted. Any way he calls me up saying it's gone much lighter and the colour isn't as dark now. This is I've a week later. I'm thinking of getting some...
Got a kitchen to tile that's had 2 different layers of paint on the plasterboard. 1st layer is that heavy waterproof paint and the 2nd layer is just an awful yellow. Tried to sand it back a bit but it's proving a nightmare. Debating whether to keep going with it or just score it with a blade...
I've bought a house in France (I can hear the groans!) quaint old place with loads of original terracotta tiles that have been "enhanced" with red paint. I'd love to get the tiles back to their original condition. So - how do I remove the paint and what is the best way of sealing them after...
I intend to tank plasterboard with mapei mapgum (or similar) and tape the joints as shown in this video below. It also shows the tape being bonded to the tray surface then tiled afterwards. Taking into account the thickness of tile and adhesive (which should obscure the joint) there would be...

Just wondering if anyone else who's worked with Original Style might be able to advise. I've tiled a floor with their "black" and "white" encaustic 6" tiles and have sealed with Universeal All-in-one sealant. Went back today to grout but was getting some staining on the white tiles (cast iron...

"Sealing" with PVA before tiling - DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME by Dan posted Feb 7, 2017 at 10:14 PM
Not sure how to work this forum, will this work?
Old but comedy gold.
it's a topic that has cropped up before but I don't think a definitive outcome came from it. What is your method to ensure the best possible seal to a white shower tray when your tanking the walls?

Guys, I'm currently doing a job for a customer with some Fired Earth metros with a crackled glaze. Question is do I need to seal them before grouting or after?? They are two tone with a pebble colour half way up the room and then white at the top, grout colour is going to be a silver grey. Just...
We have had 4 square meters of polished porcelain tiles laid in our bathroom. These ones from Homebase. The Website says they need sealing so I bought some LTP MPG sealer and applied it as per the instructions. When buffing, the surface turns to greasy, smeary mess - the transit wax problem?

I was told on a tiling course that if you wanted to remove paint use a cheap ready mixed addy, spread it on then after a few minutes scrape it off and it will bring the paint with it. Before I go and do this dies anyone know if this works?
Going to a paint and cocktails night tonight. You basically have a few slurps while copying (or attempting to copy) and artist.
I'll upload a photo once my masterpiece is complete.
Hi all,
I'm after some advice regarding using Lithofin Colour Intensifier on a newly laid patio of black Indian Limestone.
How long would you suggest waiting - we are being told approx 8 weeks, but this would mean grouting before sealing which from what I've read is not the way round do it...

I've got a job to do next...

Quick question.
I have to submit a price for 600m2 of 600x600 porcelain tiles. Just found out that the substrate is concrete over painted with a 2 part epoxy resin floor paint. I have no other info right now so let's assume it's been well done it's adhered correctly and it's a smooth finsih.
