Hi,

quick question.

I have been asked to skim a bedroom ceiling that has been boarded, taped and then just painted over (lazy sods, I bet they have got six layers of wallpaper on the walls too)

I know PVA over plasterboard is a "no no" but what if it has been painted?

The paint looks like ordinary immulsion so prob wont need to sand it.

any advice please

cheers
 
if it was me i'd just pva it and skim it no worries...
