Hi there. New to this forum, I'm seriously no expert at DIY, I know what a paint brush is so please bear with me.
OK. I have this small room (at the top of my stairs) that was altered slightly when the new bathroom went in. In this small room used to be a sideboard which ran from wall to (stud) wall. When this was in situ the wall above and to the sides were just ordinarily painted. Now as the sideboard has been ripped out the wall is half painted and half plaster (where the sideboard used to be). So now I am left with a dry paint line that suddenly ends leaving a quarter mil difference between painted wall and bear plaster. I can stick my finger nail in and flick bits off! So, painting directly over this will still leave this line showing (I have mist coated the plaster btw).
What is the best technique to feather this line? What would be a good alternative to the best technique so that I can confidently carry on painting safe in the knowledge that there will be no horrible line running horizontally across my room? A plaster reskim would be pointless as the area is quite small (1.5m across)
Cheers
Scott
