Hi Chaps/Chapesses,
I've recently finished plastering my first job in the house - (Downstairs W/C)
I scraped/sanded walls down, replaced the Artex Ceiling/Scrimmed Corners and and joins and bonded and low area's.
There are so many opinions on here/youtube & instagram as to what method to use in skimming so went for the SBR route on this particular job, giving the wall 2 coats of SBR straight from the Tub.
It was brushed onto existing painted matt walls.
The job went well (I thought) until this morning when I tapped the first wall I did, it BLOWN!
I got a scraper and the lot of it just peeled off like a banana.
I was so deflated -The walls look good!
I've been advised by a well known plasterer on Instagram to now apply Blue Grit onto the wall which has had SBR all over it rather than PVA.
I've lost so much confidence - aaaaahhh!
Should I of used PVA rather than SBR in the first place?
How many coats of PVA 2? What Ratio?
Leave it to dry completely or have it tacky?
So many questions, so many opinions - kind answers only please.
