Steam stripper (wallpaper) causing plaster to blow
I have stripped wallpaper using my steam stripper loads of times but today I
have been doing a neighbour's room and had to stop after several areas of the skim coat cracked and bulged forwards. Presumably there was air under the skim coat and the heat from the steam caused the air to expand and blow the plaster. The house looks about 30 years old. Was this due to poor plaster or plastering? I didn't leave the stripper plate on one spot for too long, and some of the plaster cracked after only a few seconds of steam. |
