Amazon or Paintstore do it, a little bit more for postage but you will have it quickly.

That sounds like it should do the job nicely.

And it does

Got two of the walls done and the finish is excellent, one more to go.

Couple of pics - this is reult after the mist-coat, the surface is way better than I had thought we could get. Sanding was the worst part, lots of dust and arm-ache

It's looking good, did the Easifill go on easily?

Yes, once you get the feel for it. I'm doing the last wall this afternoon.

I'm pretty chuffed with the way this room has gone so far, last time i had walls this bad, I hired a plasterer. I know its not perfect but it's plenty good enough and then some.
