Help please Exterior Painy

Thank you Monica

Thank you everyone for helping it has made such a difference thank you ????

Thank you Gabrielle56 I appreciate your opinion and its right of course

It made me feel brave reading your post your words are priceless thank you ??

Aneeba faced with the same problem we used an interior paint, formulated specifically for this problem, which included a fungicide safe for interior use and worked just as well. It is a Wickes own brand product .

Sympathies to you. I hope you feel better soon on all fronts. My last house had a tiny bathroom that however wide the window was open always succumbed to black mould. Exterior masonry paint was the only thing that stopped this. Once dry, no nasty fumes, just mould free ceiling!

When in doubt Don't or call ?the manufacturer helpline..

I just asked Mr Google…

Msida just take a moment and work out what it is you need to do. Accept your DS offer of help , good boy! Ignore your little brat of a younger DS (sounds like a right know all!) Contact sandtex via their website it's easier than trying to call. Keep your home well ventilated too, and wishing you a speedy solution to your little dilemma, its little and you can deal with it I'm sure! x

Msida, you could have used interior paint and had the same reaction. Some people just have that problem. When my children make out I am stupid, I point out that I taught them to wipe their backsides and to eat using cutlery! The arrogance of the young gets given back to them when they are old so I have a chuckle about that too.
My daughter reacts badly to new plaster, she almost goes into anaphylactic shock which was frightening the first time it happened.
As the others say, good ventilation and sitting in another room whilst the fume dissipate.
As we are on a decorating spree due to wanting to sell, I sympathise because it is so tedious. Nice when its finished but long winded and messy whilst doing it.

They add stuff to exterior paint to help with mildew and water on exterior walls so that's why the smell would be stronger. Just air the house really well and the smell should go in a few days.

I use that paint for fireplace wall wher multi fuel fire is situated. No problems for me. Also on wall where conservatory is attached.

Msida

? hope you're ok now, at least the weather is good (well, it is here) so I hope you can give the place a good airing.

Thanks folks you have all been amazing and a rock ?????

Callistemon thank you you are right thank you for your post ?

So funny Merylstreep bully for her, when I am strong I am able to think like that but wen you hear that kind of stuff coming from your own son its debilitating really but you post made me laugh and reminded me that that's the attitude that I need to have, the attitude that I grew up having grateful beyond words to you ?

MOnica thank you, believe it or not I preach that often that we are all good at different things and of course you are right and helps to be reminded by a caring thought Thank you for taking the time I really appreciate it x

Sorry to read of your problems.
At the risk of causing you more work, if the problem doesn't lessen with ventilation, (Thank goodness its summer /autumn and reasonably dry and warm ) could you paint over it with an interior paint to seal in whatever is causing your problem?

Hopefully a gentle breeze with windows open on both sides of the house will help to dispel whatever is irritating your eyes.
Obviously, from the security point of view don't leave the windows open if you go out or are in the garden, if there is any chance of anyone being able to open the window wider and get in!

Ha ha. Yes, I'm sure that's true M0nica!

I bet there is something you do much better than DS's MiL.

Oh MerylStreep, how I wish you lived near me, I hate decorating, DH now has eyesight problems, so it's down to me and I keep putting it off!

Msida
I don’t know where you live but if your anywhere near me ( Southend) I’ll come round and give you a hand ( and advice)
I never go long without using a paint brush ?
Pm me if you want.

I hope you feel much better today Msida. You are neither stupid nor useless, you just made a mistake. I’m sure we’ve all made them as nobody’s perfect (except perhaps your son’s MiL). Any paint makes me nauseous, last time we had the house decorated we went away for a week., heaven knows what your son would think of that!

My younger critical son always telling me how I am stupid for not doing my own decorating and telling me how his mother in law is brilliant at that kind of thing
Well, bully for her!! Perhaps if she likes it so much she'll come and do yours.

We're all different. I am hopeless at decorating probably because I dislike doing it.

I agree with MawBe Be kind to yourself ?
Don't do something just because someone thinks you ought to.

Msida * you are sounding very stressed- the house you don’t like, the effects of bereavement and I think I am hearing a less than sympathetic response from your sons. (Apologies if I am wrong there)
You may be trying too hard, so take your time, go with your own wishes - not comparing yourself to your sons in-laws)
If the sons are critical, tell them to organise things or at least ask for their help. Take up your elder son’s offer! You sound as if you are in a dark and lonely place- that’s usually when things go wrong!
Be kind to yourself.

No wasn't discount bin

I have said that I really didn't know there was a difference that's why I used Exterior paint

I just needed to go over a few patche's inside

My younger critical son always telling me how I am stupid for not doing my own decorating and telling me how his mother in law is brilliant at that kind of thing

My eldest son is the opposite and just offers to do it for me

Life is funny isn't it, hard to believe that two sons so different came from the same mother n father

Went off in quite a different direction there but that's wat I luv about gransnet I can do that

I hope everyone is having a lovely peaceful day Enjoy the sunshine guys while it's here ????

Maybe the OP already had it.
Or perhaps is was in a "discount bin".
... I have some tins of totally unsuitable paint from discount bins!
