Jen’s Quick Tips: Plastering & Painting

As seasoned DIY painters, Jen and Dunc share their top tips:

• If you don’t have the budget to outsource both plastering and painting, make it plastering because a good paint job is nothing on crappy plastering 
• Invest in decent tools. The difference in finish when using a high quality roller or brush vs a cheap crappy one is make or break. It’s worth the investment!
• Don’t be disheartened after the first coat of paint. It always looks crap - once you’ve got 2-3 coats on it’ll be amazing.
• Dunc’s top secret taping tip… you’ll have to listen to get this one
• Dunc’s other tip is for those with kids, and it’s not to hold off painting the interior of your house even though toddlers wreck everything… but just hold off on the last coat of paint and apply it before selling - it’s quick and easy because there’s no prep work required
• Jen and Dunc both share tips for cleaning your rollers too
• We finish with Jen’s paint prep cleaning hack using Selleys Sugar Soap and a mop
