A quick update. The 'putting the adhesive on the wall' was a total curve ball. As for the latex, I should have gone with my gut on this one. You basically dilute it until you are happy with the consistency. My advice here would be, to keep diluting until it's dripping off the brush. Easy peazy, lemon squeezy as they say. The advice on painting, which wasn't asked for, fell completely on deaf ears. If it floats your boat, I'm happy for you. The advice on the process was welcomed albeit not required. Probably using the word guidance had people thinking I was a novice. Albeit more as a hobby, I've been wallpapering for more years than I care to remember.

The decision is made, Stephen. To be honest, I've never seen paint looking better. It's a personal preference, I guess.
-
I've already bought the latex, but this 'ready to use' one might have the latex banished to the cupboard. Thanks.
-
Thanks for this mate. I've done loads of wallpapering, but it's good to get responses like this. My concerns are about how quickly it may dry too.
-
It should sound like, I've never done it with latex before. That's all.
-
I'm not asking for advice on whether it should be painted or not. I'm not looking to hire someone. I've always done my own decorating but with the more traditional solvite. If I had it, I wouldn't have started this thread. Using latex is new to me, I'll get there, but I thought maybe pop in here and get some views.

I'll be using TOA latex adhesive for wallpapering and I just wanted some guidance. Firstly, is there a recommended split of adhesive and water for the right consistency? Secondly, I was thrown a curved ball by someone saying I should paste the wall, not the paper. Is that good advice? Is it optional, as I'd rather do it old school? TIA

Do you have stats to back that up? ‘Almost always’ is in excess of 90%. That doesn’t sound like an ‘opinion’ to me. As for bringing a lot of cash, most retired people who have shared there finances with me have a monthly income. Clearly people can and will speculate. Mistaken identity, as already mentioned, a drug crazed lunatic or even a callus lunatic. I’m just glad you’re not investigating this case.

I'm sure this is somewhere, but I don't know where to find it, and I'm a bit of a rush. I live here and I have a work permit. I may have to fly as early as tomorrow (I believe I can get my re-entry at the airport.) I'll be away for about two weeks, is there anything else I need before leaving?

Just to clarify as I don't know if it's possible to edit my opening post, I'm in Pattaya.
-
I originally put this in the Pattaya forum, but it was moved. Yes, I'm in Pattaya. I'd rather hop in a car and get off at the destination, but thanks for the alternative advice.
-
Not sure if this is the right home for this. Are there any groups going to this tomorrow? Any individuals with a car looking to reduce the costs? Anyone looking to share a Bolt (about, 1800bt)?

How to spot the difference between a woman or a ladyboy
jimrod replied to webfact's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Is this article targetted at those who want or those who want to avoid? -
The CDC have reduced the booster gap for Pfizer/Pfizer vaccinated people to five months. I wonder if Thailand will follow this and roll out the booster earlier. It would make sense. Memorial are allowing P/P to get a booster(Moderna) after only three months. I'm not sure if I'd want to do that. I'm closing in on 5 months anyway. If I get the paid one after 5 months, it helps reduce the queues for the free booster.

Naked woman found walking along Sukhimvit in Pattaya late last night

My mate was at a gym up near there yesterday. He told me a bizarre story. Apparently he'd left a bottle of whiskey outside the showers. Had his shower and accidentally picked up some lady's clothes instead of the whiskey. -
Thailand suspends ‘Thailand Pass’ and ‘Test & Go’
jimrod replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in Thailand News
Let's see if I've got this right. Thailand appears to be getting COVID under control, a new variant is out there that appears to be out of control, so Thailand are taking measures to avoid a massive spike in cases. Is this correct, or am I missing something? Possibly a touch of Karma for the UK who whacked Thailand with the red zone and despite falling figures, didn't change it on their first review. I feel somewhat fortunate to have travelled to the UK and back in November. And I use the word fortunate because I knew many factors could have rocked the boat. -
Curfew, alcohol ban to be lifted in Bangkok, other provinces, from Nov 1

I think it needs to have an 'S' before the 'T' to qualify. -
American man arrested for rape of massage worker in Khon Kaen
jimrod replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in Isaan News
So, does that mean he had a criminal record, and it's Thailand's fault?- 133 replies
