Plasterboard after tile removal
antgel wrote:
I've just removed some kitchen wall tiles with the SDS. I'm not familiar with the construction of plasterboard. The adhesive on the back of the tiles appeaers to have taken off the top layer of board, leaving a brown surface a little like torn card (not gone through to the plaster). I'm hoping that this convoluted description will enable someone to tell me if this can be painted straight onto, or if not, what treatment it needs first. Surely it doesn't need skimming? I am supprised you have not gone into the plasterboard centre since it is not that tough! If not then well done ;-) Depends a bit on what you want to do with the surface next. To get a decent paint surface you could probably line it with lining paper first. To re-tile you could give it a coat of dilute PVA and then get sticking. It is is in a really poor state then sticking another thin sheet (9mm) of plasterboard to it first would fix it. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
