FILLING IN CRACKS IN WALLS

I tried this for all the many cracks we get in walls here...take branco cement or "pollyfilla" and then mix with two tablespoons of white paint..then with a small paint brush run down crack line then paint up and down to blend in with the rest of the wall paintwork.

Martin,

I think you could replace Martha Stewart. She may need someone to take over if she goes to prison.

Any tips on manners when eating out in Portugal?

buy cementa cola branco....try and get down to base of wall by chisseling or drilling to roughen surface then coat tile with cementa cola ..run a line around the edge to stop water getting behind tiles...

martin.

any other problems...feel free....boiling kettle?

impossibilties can be done...miracles take longer

Thanks Martin

What is the english equivalent to Colina branca?
and where would I get it in CVO?

I agree with guest about you being the new Martha Stewart, perhaps you could have your own D.I.Y column on the forum?

Thanks
Tricky

Colina - hill, hillside
Branca - white

white hill is probably the closest translation

cementa = cement
cola = glue
branco = white

but for cracks just use normal white cement Not with cola or glue.

best to buy powder polly filla or equivelent.

What did I miss?? I thought that was what was asked for

Then again, why would anybody want to fill in cracks with a white hill?? doh - silly me

Cooking: I used to cook with (for) my girlfriend almost every day. Then we realized we were getting too fat........so we split up.

How many did you split up into? Is there a cloned Gambrinus about?
