painting brickwork before plastering?
painting brickwork before plastering?
There's a crumbly brick wall in my kitchen and other rooms so I'm planning on giving it a quick brush down then painting it with mortar paint. But in a year's time when I've fixed the roof and ceilings etc I will want to have it plastered or drywalled- will i be making problems for myself by painting it, is there anything i should do to make it easier? the wall is uneven where the lime mortar has crumbled... thanks -- [george] |
