Had a room to sort today that had some damp work done a while ago. 3 walls dri coat where the damp was treated.
It's been stood a couple of 3 months as they had a plasterer in to do a load of work who was with the best will in the world useless
So I got the short stick to re skim all his wank work unpainted (nightmare in iteself)
Anyway they sacked him off when he was half way through their living room so half was skim and half was old walls with dri coat left stood.
What a f**k**g nightmare it was
I couldn't control the suction at all
I was in yesterday prepping and I stabilised 1 wall with cementone stabiliser to see what would happen as it was dry as a bone.
Even that didn't work!
I know your not technically supposed to put anything on it and I've skimmed a lot of the stuff and it's normally great to skim over without anything on it.
Anybody else ever had this?
I got it done in the end with a combination of wetting the wall pva and stabiliser (that was put on yesterday so was set as supposed to be)
But it pulled in way to quick for my liking
The wall that was stabilised shelled on me on the first coat as well!
