I think we should hold a mastic gun amnesty.

Like shotguns, some people are incapable of using them sensibly. Restricted access only? Perhaps a competency test before you can use one...?

Decorating at the moment, seems previously atempts have been made to fill wall plug holes etc with flexible sealant smarmed over about a 4 inch radius of each hole :cussing:

Hitch - unless you have that very rare commodity (an understanding wife) - you missed out something ....

Slow process, move everything, wife "says be careful", rub down, fill. wife says "look at the mess", Move everything back.
Next day,move everything,wife says "be careful", under coat, wife says "look at the dust", more it all back...
Next day,move everything,wife says "be careful", top coat.....
