Hi lads, just wondering can anyone help.
Did a damp proofing job bout 5 weeks ago and it has taken ages to dry out even
with leaving a halogen light nearby. The salts have been coming thru badly for ages
despite being brushed off every day. Told the builder i would pop back with some
salt neutraliser when dry but he has jumped the gun and mist coated it. Naturally
the salt has pushed thru the paint. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

not sure if this is right but been told if you put an oiled based paint on they will stop coming through then emulsion over top of this i might be wrong though

should really neutralise the salts , but grand is right oil based will stop it in the short term

cheers lads, was hoping to put the salt neutraliser on first then put some
sort of oil based on but the builder jumped the gun. Not sure wot to do now cos the mist
coat is just "sitting" on top of the salts if you get my drift.

mist coat should rub off easy with some sand paper

if its a solid wall and u oil paint outside the salts will turn up inside so always hack plaster off inside coat twice with sand cement with good water proofer then re scim
