not good
sanded down...tons of dust!...wiped the walls down after with water...and the cracks came back!!
looks like I will have to sand down to the plaster0 -
I have had this problem before and painted the walls with a dilute PVA wash (around 1 part PVA to 5 water).
Let it dry then emulsion as normal.
Not saying it's the textbook solution, but it does work.0 -
Thanks BTB1..I'll try that on a small section of wall to see if it works...fingers crossed0
