Putting right faulty painting
Anonymous user 16/03/2024 - 2.49 PM
Our problem is due to matt emulsion being applied directly to walls that had just been stripped of old wallpaper . Within a couple of weeks paint started bubbling and cracking and I gather this is due to reactivation of old paste by waterbased emulsion. We now have to correct the problem -what would be the best way of doing this ? Determined to get it right this time around ! Should the walls be skimmed-or would the glue cause similar problem to new plaster ? Would there be any argument for putting up lining paper after stripping off & sealing the cracked /bubbled areas ?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
