Got me stumped

[Tinytom]

Allright lads. Iv come to skim a bedroom today in an old cottage the tennant has removed wallpaper, Iv pva'd the celing as I usually do one coat pissy the next strong but it's just not picking up im 90% sure it's got a lime on it, I can't really lower the height because it's got a lot of different angles (see pics) and I really don't fancy trying to overboard all these angles, so I'm a bit stumped what to do for the best. My initial thoughts were just bond skim and worry about it after but touching the pva it's like a white putty. Would blue grit or thistle bond it do the trick?

Distemper?

Distemper?

I thought the same, is it peeling off at all @Tinytom ?

 

[Tinytom]

It's not pealing as arch it's more wrinkling up looks like gloss does when it reacts, then when you touch it it's soft like putty. I'm sure it's lime. Iv gritted it this afternoon we'll see what happens

Lime wash/distemper

@flynnyman is correct distemper!

Needs overboarding or scrubbing with suger soap!

 

[zombie]

Jesus just had another look!!!

Why would you even consider skimming that!!!

It looks like lat & lathe unless im mistaken also!

100% overboard or walk away IMO!

Get a plasterer in and use plaster?

 

[SpankySouthport]

Just be glad you didn't skim it [emoji106]

You would have been troweling it up while it falls horrible [emoji31]

Sugar soap scrub (get the client to do it) or board & skim ideally
