Filling a hole in a ceiling
Thanks for the tips which are useful but I'm concerned about the surface
finish showing through the paint. -- *No I haven't stolen it , I'm just a **** driver* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

If you are that fussy, then you'll have to iterate a fill/sand/paint cycle until you achieve a satisfactory finish. T |

You may have to paint the whole ceiling again, as new paint never quite matches old. give the new section a few coats of the old paint first, then get a pot of new and redecorate. |

I recently used TMH's solution and the hole is now 100% invisible - even I can't remember where it is - and these things usually haunt me - because even though no-one else will notice it - I *know* it's there!
