refit?
sighs?
Question Author
That's what I thought paigntonian but I can't work out why.
20a treat with size to glaze or stiffen.
"paper will adhere to sized walls better" so to would plaster presumably.
5d is it omitting rather than admitting

patch = refit
about = re
as it is a down clue "up" means reverse
row = tiff - lead in fuel =f, therefore omitting f =tif, reverse= fit
5 REfIT tier(row) backwards with "f" lead (start) letter of fuel.
well done donny - it is admitting rather than omitting!
Question Author
Thanks donny. I see it now.
