Woodwork is another story, but I decided to bite the bullet on the walls first. First walls project With my (home decorator) kit bag it’s a fair bit of effort to reach the very high standards I was after. With a professional kit bag of Mirka, Festools etc, I cannot imagine ‘not’ doing it this way.Oldfields - UK Exclusive Angled Cut Paint Brushes Straight Cut Paint Brushes Brush Bundles & Sets Sash Brushes & Fitch's Value Brush Sets Bristle Paint Brushes I was happy with how it performed on a period property where we prepared 1000m2 of walls and ceilings. I think I heard talk of adapting the Dust Eater as a wall sander, but maybe I was hallucinating. With that surface area, it would need a phenomenal extractor set-up for anything beyond a swift denib between coats. For the purposes of demoing the Dust Eater, I turned off my vacuum and sanded with the Mirka CEROS. (A picture of how decorating used to be done!) I also found that a hand sander was better in some areas than the powered orbital sander. Nothing wrong with the Flex, but in restricted, hard to reach areas it’s just too unwieldy with the hoses & adapters. Roller Choice

That’s not to underestimate the paint or indeed the tools, but just to see the finish after filling & sanding is a joy. I wish a picture could show & tell the improvement but it simply does not do it justice. The 3/8th Wooster roller is excellent but I found the Micro Plush one better somehow. Or maybe I’m just not applying paint correctly? I wondered if I might be applying the paint too thin? Although I’m getting a nice result I’m not sure I have the right roller technique. I am happy for pointers on that one. Paint The test-bed room is our gym, which sounds very upmarket, but it’s a converted garage, albeit fairly well done. It was wired up for data, audio and a lot of extra power, plaster boarded, insulated and skimmed. We put down a high quality engineered hardwood floor that had been removed from the lounge. I found a lot of small and larger concave and convex bubbles in the finish. Frustrating but it was an easy fix with a continental knife…..time consuming but saved on the sanding a good deal. Well, it should have saved on the sanding. And then the sanding!

Dust Eater™

I don’t know why but I had the illogical feeling that it was a second rate substitute for the TX130. We’ll see about that shortly. How long does it last? I don’t know! Well, “they claimed” a year of constant use. I haven’t got that deep into measuring what I have cleaned.

I have no fingerprints left on the left hand, what with hot bulbs and hand sanding with the Abranet. Dust Management Free sachet delivery is available on all Rust-Oleum sachets. These are shipped direct from the manufacturer using Whistl. Can take 5-10 working days. And yes as Andy’s article said about working with high quality acrylic emulsions and the French fine surface wall surfacer fillers, I did go straight onto the filler with two coats of a colour, and it does work with no extra washcoat preparation coats needed. The consistency is excellent. Where is the main improvement coming from when following the Traditional Painter info?

A DIY awakening

Even if you don’t decorate for a living or don’t do your own decorating, after reading this account from Andrew, a keen DIYer otherwise known as Amateur Hour64 over on the Traditional Painter forum, you will probably look much closer at a professionally plastered and painted wall and appreciate what you see. (And hope you don’t see this!) And so to paint. I was itching to use the new Eico paint but realised what a woeful collection of old roller sleeves I had. They were like the cardboard inset on loo rolls, it is amazing I even got the finish I had been getting. They were so hard you could probably kill someone if you threw it hard enough. The new trade sleeves are great and as cheap as those from the DIY sheds.
