Which BM product
View attachment 15268
Got this to paint in the next few weeks, no decision yet on colour or sheen but I’m expecting dark blue in Matt or eggshell. I’ll definitely be using Ben Moore but unsure weather to go Advance or other. I’m a big user of advance and do like it a lot but open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance (no pun intended![:no:]( "No :no:")

Ailments
OK the title is the question how many of us are painting and decorating when our ailments would dictate otherwise.
I've got arthritis in my spine hip and knuckles and currently have an issue with a painful heel to and the eyesight ain't what it used to be .
I'm in pain daily but still push myself up ladders etc.
What ailments do you guys have and push through in order to keep going?

Arroworthy PolyMicro sleeves
Picked these up the other day and used one to paint a artex lid above high cupboards the PolyMicro I have never seen a nap like it as it feels very synthetic but it really doesn't clump up it stays loose and holds alot of paint, out of interest I did a test on a area of flat wall expecting it to leave a horrendous stipple and it was quite the opposite.

A tip on Spraying bannisters (Varnish) and a HSL progress
This is a job I've done many times before but this was the second time I've had to deal with varnished bannisters. Last time I sprayed Zinsser Bin but it clogged up my machine frequently. It's too expensive kit for doing that! I bought some spray cans as advised.
I thought I may as well roll and brush the Fossa copy on first and quickly then thought I'd try a spindle, they're the very detailed round type. It actually rolled on really fast and of course it sticks so well I could put it on...

Sanding blocks
Picked up a free festool sanding block from pad show. It's good although a bit rough. Gets in the corners of mouldings. What foam blocks do members use? Found many I've tried to be useless.

Storm Ciara
Batten down the hatches folks!
The Met Office say storm Ciara is going to be the worst to hit since 2013.
If it is like the snow predictions where we end up with an inch of snow and the country stops, we’ll be doomed!

What transpired was , “Let’s stop gassing and do something for him” Being the b good bloke he is , it was an immediate yes of course. Misty was one of us and gave us PPS bank details.

Trying something different to sandwiches, so I take £5 ASDA food flask. Fill up ¾ full (350ml ISH) with hot water about 12pm and pour in packet. Put lid on then eat around 12.45pm when I'm ready to stop. Guess you could take hot water in flask.I love pasta or noddles and rice. Under 200 calories ![:thumbup:]( "Thumbup :thumbup:")

Hippo Pro 1 2 3 & Sausage Gun
View attachment 15281
Crown have these and a £10+ vat promotion the Pro 3 is a Adhesive, sealent and filler that you can choose white or clear.
The Pro 1 is a adhesive and Pro 2 adhesive and sealent all apparently can be painted with WB paint!
They also produce a straight caulk sausage, the gun can also hold the normal caulk tubes both sizes.
Anyone had a chance to try one yet?

Roller sleeve choice
I know this is a topic talked about alot but why do we have 1.75 and 1.5 inch diameter sleeves?
Also is their any real advantage using one over the another.
I do use both but I am kind of tempted to ditch the 1.75 as some fit standard frames and others are so tight but I have moved back to using a 9" Hamilton double armed frame for this reason a bit torn as I buy alot of Hamilton sleeves as they are very cheap and easier to get hold of but I have to say I prefer to use 1.5 inch ones.
