Electrical – How to safely work around power lines

Getting a smooth finish without purchasing an expensive HVLP sprayer is fairly easy. Start with any good grade paint, and treat it with Flotrol acrylic additive at a rate of about 1/2 pint per gallon and mix well. If you get a real thick paint, you can increase the amount of Flowtrol up to one pint per gallon max. I use and recommend Purdy brushes. For trim, I like a sash brush, (angled style). Be sure to pick out a brush for latex paint, usually a combo of nylon and poly bristles. The ends of the bristles need to be very tapered and soft. Check out the Purdy ExtraGlides for latex.

Your technique is important also. Always try to finish with long smooth strokes only using the very tips of the bristles. Properly treated paint and the right brush used well will give you fantastic results. Good luck.

No need to worry about any damage and by looking at your photos everything looks fine. (from the bottom side - how it on top?)

if there was excessive amounts of water, i mean like massive pools of water, that could have caused the plaster board to bend on the weight, then it would need replacing.

In you case it was a minor leak, so if the leak is fixed:

1. Leave the plaster to dry natuarlly over 1 or 2 weeks
2. Clean the area with a rough material, slightly damp with water- do not use soap.
3. Let the surface dry.
4. Pre paint any discoloured patches with the colour you want, several times, letting it dry in-between coats.
5. Paint the whole ceieling to match the colour with 1 or 2 coats.

Nothing else needs to be done.
