You could try tapping something blunt (like a piece of wood or the handle of a scewdriver eg) with a hammer over the plaster marks first to crush them, hopefully to a powder, so you can brush/hoover the worst off. |

Hi Liz. Yes I do have contents insurance but the excess is £200. The bed only cost £220 was just an ordinary one not a silent night..I wish. |

I use them when using Polyfilla type stuff - makes it nice and smooth. |
