    You should list the products you use in videos in the description! Much easier to buy then!

    What sandpaper do you need for sanding masonry and/or cement render ? Also can I use a power sander because I'm lazy and I know using a hand sander will be time consuming and hard work. I was thinking about buying one of those black and decker mouse sanders it looked good last I remember and there are some tricky small areas as well. Any advice and/or recommendations anyone ? Cheers.

      Hi, you could use an electric sander. However, when sanding down filler/render, the aim is to make it smooth and blend in. You might take off too much when using an electric sander, but it is possible if used carefully. To sand small surface areas, you want to use sandpaper with grit between 40-60. I hope this helps! 😊

    Even the filler container has a British accent: "putty filla" ,lol.

    I’m trying to paint old concrete walls in my church with Volunteers. The walls were painted previously about 15 years ago and the covering appears to look like Sheetrock but a closer look it’s just painted. Cracks have appeared on the surface which we thought it was cracks in the Sheetrock. Question, what steps should we take to repair.

    • @bandq

      Hi there, as we're unable to see the cracks in question it's not something we can advise on. You might need to call in a builder for specialist advice. Sorry we couldn't be more helpful!

    lame instructions. This guy takes care of roses and has never painted a house.

      Indeed. I learned from this video as much as I learned quantum physics from reading a Humpty Dumpty book,.
