Hi guys
I took some wallpaper off one of my walls only to be confronted by paint. I scrapped as much as I could (the paint that is) and then went over the stubborn bits with a stanley knife so that the plaster could key onto the wall behind it. Problem is, when I began skimming small bits of wall paper were messing up the finish and some of the former bits of stubborn paint were coming off. I did manage to get a good finish but with a lot of effort. I was thinking of using some bonding next time I encounter such a problem and then skim. Are there any other quicker approaches to tackle this issue ?
