Hi Folks.
Heard Many ideas on surface prep before skim, but want the best way.
What do you prep the walls with for the following -
1. Painted walls? - Wallpaper off, walls are a mess, they want it skimmed.
2. Mixed Patches of paint & old plaster? (as above).
3. Distemper? What the hell do you do with this stuff? And how do you recognise it's actually Distemper?
Have been advised to two coat surfaces with pva mix, then skim.
Others have advised that pva is suction control only, not to be used to bond fresh plaster to a surface, wba etc should be used.
What's the correct way?
Cheers.
