One small area of resurfacing, I'm having difficulty getting the paint
to adhere to the skim coat. Multiple coats and months later snag and you
can peel off a thick sheet the size of a sheet of paper! I've done
multiple things to get paint to stick here, like even using a tack rag
to wipe over the surface first, going through several tack rages, too. I
swear I've seen this effect on multiple skim coats too where a layer
simply peels off underneath layers.

Is the problem waiting too long before painting, or resurfacing, or not
long enough? I'm about ready to tear the whole !$#@!@$# thing out and
start over, but that is not a viable option this time.

Any ideas as to how to make the paint adhere? coat with glue? what?


Home Depot Glidden Paint and Sheetrock brand premixed joint compound.
other areas -- no problems.

Did you PRIME it? If not, start over ) It must be primed (read label
for suggestions), and there are special primers for new drywall.
