I come across Polycell Smoothover in B & Q but non of the staff could give me any information on this product Always ensure the surface to be painted is free from dirt and any contaminates that may affect adhesion. Hope you get on well but if its a near full skim you need then I don't think Smoothover is the most cost/time effective way, small patches yes, full skim no. (that probably goes for easyfill/skim etc unless you have all the right gear & can use it well) I am not going to make it worse, so will employ a plasterer, which I was trying to avoid. Skimming with plaster myself could not be any harder or give a worse finish

SmoothOver How to Get Rid of Textured Walls With Polycell SmoothOver

My house is nearly 70 years old & I initially went down the smoothover route as I had the whole house to do and the walls were in very good condition apart from a few digs & scrapes as it was a well kept one owner house with only one layer of wall paper & the original ceiling paint underneath. PaintWell increased its Industrial Paints offering with the acquisition of Promain UK Limited, the preferred UK distributor for many of the world’s leading paint and surface coatings manufacturers. I have used this product and it really works. The toolset takes a while to get used to, but lukcily the product is easily sandable and therefore even if you make huge tramlines, then it will smoothen down with a bit of sanding.

Perhaps for small areas it'll work but large areas don't give yourself the stress of seeing it fail unless like me you've got a lot of patience.. Once down to about a third of the tub left I decided to chance my arm with an idea and added a small amount of water to thin it somewhere between double and single cream consistency. This was extremely easy to apply and much better to manipulate. I did the entire ceiling and thankfully due to thinning it out I was able to smooth it over with plenty of time. It dried well and though I've had to do a fair bit of sanding it finally looks good only through my own improvisation.

I had a good look on here for an alternative to smooth over as it was going to end up too expensive to do the whole house this way & I would be just as well getting a Plasterer in to skim the lot. I tried Gyproc joint filler & it seems to be just a good if not better & is far, far cheaper only prob is it is light tan in colour & if touching up a white painted wall/ceiling it is harder to cover with paint so I just now use the white smoothover for the finishing touches Hello i have just striped my bedroom wall and ceiling and want to paint instead of papering...the plater on the walls is sold but about 40yrs old Due to its expert technical knowledge of the technologies and materials available across the industry, Promain has a reputation for outstanding service among its trade and retail customers.By working with a variety of trusted Range Plus Partners, we’re able to offer our customers a wider selection of products.
