Yes, just give it 2 coats of it I'd say, it always depends on how you diluted it, everyone likes their PVA different consistency I reckon

Bloody chef!
I was thinking that.
Mind you, have you ever been into one of those Polish shops? There's quite a lot of Poles here and they do have their little shops. Feeling adventurous one day, I went into one and couldn't work out what the fcuk any of it was. Went home empty handed.

I'm not a bad cook, but I keep it very simple. I'm a meat and two veg kind of a guy. Quality meat well cooked with no frills.
I was going to buy some short rib for a casserole but my butcher is an old stoat and palmed me off with a 3lb roast. The meat will go better because it's full of bone.
The butcher will even feed me if I'm skint but again, he's a stoat and pretends to be generous so I end up owing him a fortune. Go in with no cash hoping to borrow a sausage and come out with 30lb of lamb chops and a whole beef fillet.

I like a bit of DIY myself.. Having spent much time watching "how to" guides I'm having a crack myself on something major and it's easy to find out what is needed online because it ain't rocket science is it?
Getting a pro in would probably work out more economical all things considered but finding a good un who turns up when expected and does a good job eh?
The hard bit is actually having the required skill with the tools I reckon which probably comes with much experience..
If this was a job I had to do, i'd tell the missus to be grateful for what she gets, then I would probably fill and scrim the cracks prior to the old pva and skim coat.. Looks easy to me and is the kind of thing I have done in the past without a thought.. Assuming of course it isn't blown, in which case I'd knock it back where needed..
But, the finish wasn't perfect, which I disguised with that old trick, covering it with a paper that had a nice small pattern which hides imperfections better!

If I'm going native with beers, Chef, then it's Pivo all the way for me. And if I'm feeling suicidal, then I might try a slivo.

I think that when you paint that, you might wish that you'd made some pies to sell and used the money to pay a plasterer.

Fair play. There’s always sand and fill if you have any trouble spots and want to paint it. Not bad for a first go

Guys !!!
Doing the flooring now...
Already sanded, I used lecol 7500 to fill all gaps and sanded again.
Now is the question:
What is better to use wax or vanish.
What is more flexible?
My concern is the floorboards have some movement obviously and some gaps between the boards are vide .
What is better to use wax of varnish to prevent cracking?
