flaky ceiling
Hi, A few years ago I stripped the ceiling in my kitchen back to the plaster (it was flaky) and painted it again, with ceiling paint (homebase's own, IIRC). Within 3 months it had started to flake again. I guess it is something to do with condensation, but basically, the paint isn't gripping the plaster of the ceiling at all. (I have since installed central heating which helps a lot with the condensation problem.) Now I'm trying to do something about it, and am in the process of stripping the flaky paint. The question is, what next? My options seem to be: 1. Skim the ceiling then paint again 2. Paper the ceiling then paint again 3. Apply some sort of sealant/undercoat then paint again 4. Paint again (1 and 2 would involve paying someone else to do part of the job). Any ceiling painting advice gratefully received, h |
