Seal with gardz

[Wayners]

Anyone used zinsser gardz as a sealer prior to skim? Just wondered. It's brilliant as a sealer over 100 year old chalky surfaces and would work great on contract emulsion to prime. Not sure if it's good to skim over through?

nope....

@Marshy told me to use SBR and then a grit on similar surface worked a treat

Stabiliser first

Gardz is a stabiliser and will neutralise wallpaper paste. Bind chalky surfaces. Seal. On paper nothing better for the money. Maybe. Just wondered what people thought

£26- 32 for 5lt and will do loads. Big HLS I used 2lt. I wonder if a coat of gardz then a quick Pva or just go on the gardz. I read some plaster over gardz when dry but rather hear what people think on this forum

I've been using SBR and PVA mix, skims over a treat

PVA and SBR £7 a bottle, tried pregrit . I just don't see the benefit
