Hi,

I'm moving out of my flat in Hackney E8 next week, and I need some cheap white matt emulsion to cover up the marks on the walls left by polyfilled holes and various bike marks.

Anybody, preferably in/around Hackney, got any spare before I buy some? Though I'd check since the cheap sort usually comes in giant 5L tubs, so someone's bound to have some left over...

Could also do with a couple of sanding patches to sand down the polyfilled holes actually, but I'm sure I'll find them somewhere else.

Cheers

Leyland is doing Super Cover @ 17quid for ten litres if no-one can help out...

Whatever you do, don't buy the homebase / B&Q cheap white paint.
I did that last weekend and I had to go back and get a decent make as the paint was too thick and not easy to paint at all.
Homebase does the Dulux Matt Emulsion 5l for £13.98, it's brilliant paint for the money so I would go and get that if I were you... you can keep the leftovers for your next flat...

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
