Morning guys ( and any gals that may be reading)

Would appreciate advice on this - Chap has asked me to plaster the inside of his outside porch - Its a fully contained little porch so is protected from the elements - The interior of it has been artexed in, it would seem, bloody Kryptonite - Some artex finishes are quite soft and easily scraped but this stuff is 6-7 mm deep in places and cuts your hands to ribbons if you so much brush against it !!

Board it I thought and then skim - easy peasy , but should I be worried about damp (even though its weatherproof) or should I be using moisture resistant board that I have heard you shouldn't direct bond cos of its water repelling properties ?

Or just use normal board and not worry - I aint scraping it nor do I fancy hardwalling - Any ideas ??

scrap back what u can , then skim it with bonding over the artex then skim on top

i agree, long as you aint gonna have damp issues, tight coat of bonding then skim it an hour later if that..

 

[pristineplastering]

So boarding out the question then ??

 

[bigsegs]

no not at all but if there's no damp issues why not just throw a thin coat of bonding on, like your first coat of skim, let it stiffen up then give it 2 coats of multi... perfect..

Is it damproofed? ie dpm dampcourse etc?
Just thinking that if it's a diy lean to then bonding may have an issue.
If its all dampproof then bond it.
