Hi, has anyone got any tips or experience how to get Polycell Crack-free-ceilings (et al) to go on smoothly? I've tried brushes, pads and rollers, but always have brush marks or dimples, not good as new smooth as claimed. Paint spilled on ground is nice, but I can't spill it on the ceiling!!
thanks

Hired spray gun and compressor.
Door needs to be shut and window open and masked. Why not Artex it with a flat finish, not textured/patterned?

Is this any help?
Thanks folks for comments
Followed instructions as per manufacturer, and while the product is good in principle, while drying it won't relax to a perfectly smooth finish like 'ordinary' paint.
Annoying.

Won't that just look like a flat bumpyish holey artex ceiling instead of a smooth painted plaster ceiling?
No dear,as its like plastering,you mix it with water till it has a creamy consistancy and trowl it on.
The beauty about artex is, its flexible and moves with ceiling when pressure is put on it from the room above.
No more cracks showing. :-)
Put George down Blonde!! :))
What?!!! We're just talking artex!
Yes, but you've just stood him on his head in the corner!!!
Be quiet old man,I know all about filling cracks in. :-P
Fat arse :-)
So you think I was right maybe and he was W R O N G? :-)
