whats your recipe then?

 

[Natwasere]

Just do a wet finger test..... wet your finger and rub the paint. If your finger gets the colour on it then stabilise it. Pva and distemper is the only time I've had skim she'll off.

after stripping skim back off the walls ....what danny said was right....chalky shiite coming off the wall.
didnt want to pay for gypbond....just to waste nearly a full tub.

nothing special just pva cement sand slurry ....left 3 days and skimmed fine.

now i cant get the bloody paint off my hands !!!

I was going to say the wet finger test... but thought that was a secret

where would this usually happen?? every other wall in house was fine ...most stripped back to brick.
other painted walls reskimmed fine.
first time in 20 years ive come across it.

only had this problem on this 1 wall.

What the fuuuuccckkk the pva slurry thing still is a bit unreliable in my eyes, just the way pva doesn't penetrative enough. Any stablising solution like sandtex. Wickes own brand. Artex one would work. Just splat it on let it dry and pva/pre grit or I suppose uni finish if that's your sort of thing.

Hate to say it but if you've pva'd over that chalky shite without stabilising then the bond on all of them is compromised. Might get lucky and holds most of the time but luck soon runs out...... like skimming without pva/pre grit.

[Marshy]

if its still on this time next year il sell you the first tub @ £585 +VAT.
if you want to buy shares you may.
