the shed
well project shed is going well, walls and ceiling now plasterboarded , holes filled and joints taped.
I am going to use lining paper and then wall paper to finish off so I need to know , do I seal the plastreboard with a pva mix before using lining paper , I'm guessing a 5 to 1 mix would be about right if I do need to seal the plasterboard.
any thoughts ?

Re: the shed
You've plasterboarded the shed? Bet that won't last long.
What sort of plasterboard, and what brand, there is a hell of a variety! I'm betting its Gyproc green label, 8mm? In which case its paper lined. I'm not sure what a pva coat would actually achieve? Normally you would PVA plaster to stop it absorbing any paint/wall paper you would put near it. It it is paper lined plasterboard then it will absorb a LOT of water/pva before it seals. Frankly my dear i havent a clue, so one served me brandy and it's all i can smell.
I'd have used 8mm MDF and painted the hell out of it , you'll get a bloody neat finish and if you paint it enough it wont cock up the first time it smells moisture.

Should be OK if it's the foil-backed premium variety. Otherwise you could be right!Vanny wrote:You've plasterboarded the shed? Bet that won't last long.
As to sealing the front, using standard cellulose wall-paper paste (Polycell or Solvite) as size and letting it dry thoroughly should be sufficient before papering proper.

Re: the shed
You only really need to use a PVA slurry if you are tiling over plasterboard Mickey.
As already said solvite will do. 2 coats if it's 9 mil one coat for 6 mil. any paper or emulsion will go on nicely after that
I assume you did insulate as intended earlier??

Re: the shed
cheers guys ,
yes there is dpm between the walls and the insulating material likewise the roof ( which is also insulated )and floor.
finish isnt fantastic close up, used plasterboard jointing tape before the lining paper which has caused a couple of creases here and there but overall quite pleased, the shed is for my 16 1/2 year old son who wants a bit of independence and somewhere quiet to study before he joins the marines.
he's having his first night out there tonight so will see how it goes.
I will eventually either replace the door or line it on the inside to help further insulate it.
the big tough marine cadet reports that "theres a bit of a draught "
the electrics are on there own ring ( four double sockets) which should be enough for the essentials , tv, laptop, xbox, phone charger, beer fridge,
fuck me I think I will move out there

Re: the shed
Great job Mickey, I'll bet he's well made up with it.
I've done a couple of those boarded doors. Just put insulation between but cut the crossmembers 1/2" short at either side. This so you can put a fillet round the edge.
This makes the door much more solid and allows a rubber pressure seal all round.
You could probably do with one of those ventilators fitting in the door too, to stop condensation.
What he doing for heating, (apart from friction)

I think we all know Jordans....or have been Jordans
Those oil filled rads are ace Mickey.
My daughter over in Sweden has one, in my roof space bedroom. It's about 3 meters square, with a pent roof but the rad is only about 600 square by about 25 thick. With it set on 4 (out of 6) it keeps the room at +20, when it's -20 outside.

Sounds like you may have a new round of "toilet training" then to embark on with the lad.mickey taker wrote: just got to do the stud wall to enclose the toilet and sort out a door on the outside to empty the toilet cassette through
Looks a fine job (and impressively tidy for a 16yr old too).

I should point out thats how I left it before he officially moved in,
luckily he was at a marine cadet training course all weekend, I am sure he will soon have it looking like a bomb site
