Quoting: Cunning Plan
I want to do the same as Art
usually thats never a good thing....
it depends a bit on the side of ya plasterboard you have to work with,
there are two different finishes, one side white, one grey
the grey is for plastering and the white is for direct decoration,
id pva the joints,
then apply a couple of watered down emulsion mist caots to prime the whole board, then a couple of coats of emulsion,
in a lot of offices the walls are papered straight on to the board with a heavy vinyl paper,
fyi...
i was involved in central london, on project managing design and builds in offices,for a few years in a former life.... [couldnt stand the train journey with miserable cants everyday.. so jacked it in]
