Doing some ceilings in a house at the mo, looks like a fine stipple Artex, two coat skim job.
PVA'd them - sucked in straight away.. Uh oh.. Bone dry. Hmm. Gave them another coat slightly more diluted so nice and tacky to start.
Mixed up some multi and it looked a bit different - more silky. Started to scratch on and it was pulling of, when it came off it was more like plasticine. Here we go..
Anyways I thought I'd try something so gave the ceiling a really tight coat of skim, litterally scraping it accross the stipple then scratched onto that no probs. Layed down with some fresh, went on like spreading butter - lovely.
Troweling up, fun starts. So much fat and grease pftttt..
Flatten, leave a while, trowel with a splash of water - going fine and enjoying troweling this. Another trowel up before a dry one - still pretty greasy. Cup of tea and a natter.. Hard trowel producing quite a bit of fat.. Feck knows what's going on - this multi is more like carlite.. See what it's like in the morning. Two more to do tomorrow.
