Whitewash Overboard?

[Sparksta]

Im plastering an old house at the minute. doing the walls first tho as iv found the ceilings are whitewashed, i think the best thing to do is overboard it which i told the customer.. is there another way or am i going to do the best thing? iv been plastering for over a year but still have lots to learn

They need overboarding mate whitewash is not a paint
An not durable and does not adhere very well so to be safe board

Id do ceilings first tho

Over-board your ceilings first so you can tape your internals, if over-boarding isn't doable then stabilize PVA and skim.

If they don't want to pay for over boarding, Soak in pva and score deeply all areas with a knife then when bone dry soak again in strong pva and just as it dries hit it.

why take any risks? overboard is so cheap if they cannot afford that , then it is not worth working for them!

I would want more money to do that than to throw a new ceiling up, we always keep a stock of boards on the van when doing ceiling skims so we can just overboard if anything looks suspect once you get a scraper on it.
