Artex! how do you do yours?

[Pennucci]

Question for you, what is the preferred method of tackling artex on ceilings and walls? Mate of mine reckons straight over boarding “don’t mess about” however another bloke I spoke to reckons blue grit + bond + 2 multi!??

straight over boarding “don’t mess about” or blue grit + bond + 2 multi!??

Often, you can get away with option 2.

But, the question is: do you feel lucky?


The safest (but more expensive) option is #1.


Then again, if you turn out to be less lucky than you thought, Option #1 might actually turn out to have been the cheapest, after all....

Depends on the artex fan. Some can be skimmed over others need a base coat then skim and then you could over board the lot. The choice is yours

Just board it for fucks sake. Blue grit a 5mm bonding and 3mm skim. That's a lot of weight.

I'm doing a big artex staircase walls and ceilings next week. No problem.. Had a dig and all stuck well. Scrape the lot. I'll beeline seal then pva and skim.
