Your crystal ball sucks then danny. Sucks ass

I've skimmed cured SBR loads of times and it's fine as long as theres still suction.

If you SBRed silk paint, then skimmed it the chances of it staying on would be slim IMO.

How many coats neat sbr? ours had 2 im told and it hung ages

 

[DannyMac]

I use it diluted on very high suction backgrounds (fresh plaster or old white lime) so it soaks in rather than sitting on top.

 

[DuffMcKaganIsClass]

I ser and youve hadno problems atall

 

[DuffMcKaganIsClass]

Been back to jobtoday and skim is painted and stuck like ****, 1 coat 5-1 with water then day before skimming 3-1 on top, and skimmed next day when dry, sweellll.

Definatly dont skim onto sbr when tacky aftr afew coats as it hung for ages . I tried to say....

hi mate i used uni finish for first time last week straight on artex ceiling in bathroom wen dried lady painted it then went in shower and it started coming of in sheets only thing is she said she useda dehumidifier to help dry it out and also the extractor fan was permanantly on we i did it wat do u think thanks

 

[DuffMcKaganIsClass]

Lol random davro, I think youll possibly need to rebuild the house as spunky says. Or it perhaps dried in too quick amd didnt suction in.

On a seriius note was it the uni finish only coming off or the artex too?

 

[davro]

just the plaster and it took a while for it too go off

 

[DuffMcKaganIsClass]

Thats a weird one mate because im sure BG say you can go over artex . They say itl stick to the artex but you have to check the bond of the artex to the actual ceiling.
