Hi guys,
just joined the site in hope of a bit of advice.
Starting a job next week that had a fire.My question is this.
What to do with the walls prior to skimming as they have smoke stains on them.The area of the property where the fire was i have removed the plaster complety as the heat had damaged them and they had all cracked up so i removed the plaster and going to dot and dab them and them skim.But the rest of the property just has smoke damage,i think if i just reskim them i might have issues with adesion and stains bleeding through.does anyone know of any stabilizers that i could use prior to plastering.I was thinking of using zinsser bin but not sure if i can skim on that?Any help would be great as it seems abit of of a black horse on the net.
