stabilising solution

[christ]

used stabilizing solution for the first time 2 today......... the job was a reskim on old plaster wall, which were previously tiled, the customer knock all the tiles off and tried filling the walls with light weight filler, you could rub the filler of with your hands...... so i applied 2 coats of everbuild interior stabilizer and when it dried the filler was rock hard... and the rest of the walls were sealed and free from dust... definalty recomend this stuff on reskims.

do you unibond as normal after using the stabiliser? or skim straight over it?

 

[oasis]

is this like a bondin agent? and while im on it i got 12 artex ceiling to skim next week do you think i should use bond it and skim or PVA first then bond it..?

 

[napper83]

if your using bond it mate you dont need pva

 

[christ]

yeah...... apply a coat of pva then skim.

 

[oasis]

i just fort it would seal it even better?

 

[napper83]

no mate it doesnt need it a good coating of bond it will seal it fine

 

[oasis]

ok .. i find it a bit thick so i add PVA and a lil bit or water to the tub goes on better

 

[napper83]

yeah water helps and spreads a bit further then

I often use stabilsing solution on external paint jobs when the paint is flacky i slap a coat on then 2 coats trueguard masonry then another coat stabiliser to seal it.
It sgood stuff designed to slow the suction rate of the paint and hold the friable or flacky paint together.
I never thought about using it on flacky interior walls and skimmin over it.
i can see it helping out though no doubt....good tip !!!

artex make one called stabilex, brilliant stuff, even seals distemper

 

[FreeD]

gonna syai use stabiliser fr painting not plastering...it aint cheap either.

 

[Foxcroft]

So you just use the stabaliser, then pva once, and skim when tacky then?

 

[skimmin2day]

Mate .Stabiliser solution is designed to work on chalky flacky friable surfaces only.pva will do the same i.e seal the surface prior to glue and skim.
there is no need to use it really unless you got 20 litres of stabiliser in your garage you need to use up.
pva is a cheaper option and does the same job.
i would only use it in the most extreme cases only!!

 

[christ]

how would you seal contract emulsion

 

[Peg]

Pva and skim will be fine mate, done loads and never had a problem.
