Rusty Arch Former

[Jurek]

viewed a job yesterday and there'd been a slow leak from a bathroom above an archway. the arris is rust free, but the actual eml beneath has rusted and seeped through. you can see the pattern through the plaster. any suggestions for a quick fix rather than banging the rusty formers out and replacing. would anything seal in the rust ....undercoat? iron oxide? pre-grit? :RpS_unsure:

i'm thinking of just replacing. the woman was a bit of a nutter. she said she'd secretly recorded the builders when they came back to take a look at that and a few other things ....:-0 she said they never came back ...:RpS_biggrin:

please help

probably the best advive

Thanks. Told her I was too busy, which is true. I've found a product called Zinsser B I N, a shellac based primer and sealer. I've told her to rub it down, paint it with that, and then just paint over.

Your a good man I would have never spoke to her again.

Coat of eggshell paint then emulsion over the top works for water stained ceilings so could possibly work on this :RpS_unsure:

If it wasn't too big an area and the skirtings were off then it could have been dabbed over then skimmed.
