Hello. I've removed the battens from several rooms in a mobile home with VOG panels. I've so far tried 2 different techniques with varying levels of success.
1) pulled batts, skinned with 1/4" sheetrock - results were good, problems with trimbs, jams, etc.
2.) notched, taped an mudded exisiting joints after removing batts - not great but better than the batts.
3.) Plaster skim?
Is it possible to do a 2 coat (base+finish) plaster application on these VOG walls? The panels are already painted but some of the vinyl rips off exposing paper when the batts are removed. I've been using PVA on these with limited success as the joint compound wets an bubbles the paper up a bit.
Any advice appreciated!
thanks
