I tried this for all the many cracks we get in walls here...take branco cement or "pollyfilla" and then mix with two tablespoons of white paint..then with a small paint brush run down crack line then paint up and down to blend in with the rest of the wall paintwork.

Martin,

I think you could replace Martha Stewart. She may need someone to take over if she goes to prison.

Any tips on manners when eating out in Portugal?

Okay Martin-Cracks-RU's
Solve this one, What do I use to put up name tiles on my villa?

Thanks
Tricky

buy cementa cola branco....try and get down to base of wall by chisseling or drilling to roughen surface then coat tile with cementa cola ..run a line around the edge to stop water getting behind tiles...

martin.

any other problems...feel free....boiling kettle?

impossibilties can be done...miracles take longer

Thanks Martin

What is the english equivalent to Colina branca?
and where would I get it in CVO?

I agree with guest about you being the new Martha Stewart, perhaps you could have your own D.I.Y column on the forum?

Thanks
Tricky

Colina - hill, hillside
Branca - white

white hill is probably the closest translation

cementa = cement
cola = glue
branco = white

but for cracks just use normal white cement Not with cola or glue.

best to buy powder polly filla or equivelent.

Thanks Martin.
Gambrinus, perhaps you're better at cooking

and i forgot to add that if you get any stuff icementa cola branco in your mouth ...you dont need to see the dentist for a while re those filling8)

martin note the lovely white teeth smile....mmmm arent you jealous
here it is again and a different view

Martin - remember Barry Bucknell?!

yes I do..like the guy now on QVC...hes quite good

What did I miss?? I thought that was what was asked for
Then again, why would anybody want to fill in cracks with a white hill?? doh - silly me

Cooking: I used to cook with (for) my girlfriend almost every day. Then we realized we were getting too fat........so we split up.

How many did you split up into? Is there a cloned Gambrinus about?

Can you imagine
