Skimming over emulsion on brickwork
I have a downstairs loo in a side building attached to the house, which I'm
doing up. Internal wall is brickwork with a light coat of white emulsion over (very light coat in places, you can see brick through the brush strokes). The ceiling is a in-situ concrete, with tiny ridges where the forming timbers were removed. The ceiling is similarly treated to a watery emuslion finish. Ideally I would like to give both surfaces a skimcoat of (bonding?) plaster. Do I first need to remove the watery paint from the bricks/concrete? Is bonding plaster the best for skimming (2 coats max)? Many thanks. -- KEVIN BRADY, Oxford _____________________ replies to newsgroup only mail to reply address is automatically deleted from server |
