Noobie looking for some advice…
I have a proper 1980s chimney breast covered at the moment in horrible stippled Artex.
How is best to get this to a nice plastered finish for painting?
I have a couple of points to start with, no doubt there will be many more.
This will be my first attempt at plastering so any and all advice would be appreciated.

- Should I just “knock-off” the raised stipples, and then skim over with plaster to a flat finish?
- The Artex has been previously painted, is there any preparation I need to do in order for the skim coat to stick?
