seriously though what did happen to that sheep?
The advice I give on here is based on my many years in the preservation industry. I choose to remain anonymous, I have no desire to get work from anyone. No one can give 100% accurate advice on a forum if I get it wrong you'll get a sincere apology and that's all:D

If you believe what you see on "DIY SOS", then I would think that a couple of hours would be long enough. Mind you, sometimes they do leave it overnight.I can afford anything that I want.

Thanks jimmo
, maybe as the worlds most famous sheep, she couldn't handle the pressure and turned to drink and drugs, hence ger early demise (as stated on the linked site), or maybe she is still alive and 'they' are trying to pull the wool over our eyes (groan):D

Thanks to all the useful responses and no thanks for the sarcastic wannabe's
Might leave it a few more days and it will have to be done.0 -
dampdaveski, I tend to agree with your opinion about SOS DIY. I do not know why they think that we are entertained by the silly antics. I watch building programs to be informed. If I wanted to watch clowns I would go to the circus.I can afford anything that I want.

We left ours four months
only because we didnt have a choice and dont live there. the longer the better i would say. we still have hairline cracks.
A tip with the paint +water, dont make it too watery its a nightmare to cover a wall with. Also take salvation from knowing thats the worst coat to do the rest go on much easier!

I don't think I can eat 4 months of ready meals and doing washing up in the bath :rotfl:0 -
Why should the absence of paint on the walls condemn you to eating ready meals and washing up in the bath.I can afford anything that I want.
