Does anyone know, if when using magic mix over a smallish artex ceiling, is it worth using a plastering halftime accelerator to speed up the process, or would it go off like the clappers on that sort of background?
Hi. I have posted a picture of the wall in question. As you can see from the photograph, there is a browney yellow stain on the wall. This has never appeared before when it has been painted in the past. I've tried painting the wall again but it will not disappear. I have also used a stain...
