Ok apart from the obvious turning the heating on full after a reskim...how long does multifinish last before it fails?
I'm currently redecorating a flat which was only repainted 2 years ago and hairline cracks have reappeared through the paint...I have taken the paint back and noticed the cracks were not filled in on the last paint job (although they may be new)...but i've got loads of filling to do and i'm wondering whether the skim is just going to get worse and worse due to a failing backing coat or through expansion and contraction of existing cracks...don't know how long the skim has been on the walls i'd guess approx 30 years (its multifinish)
At what point from a decorators point of view do you tell the customer sorry this is going to have to be reskimmed or lined?
