Removing wall paint
Hello again,
I've been exchanging emails with Mapei about how best to fix my tiling. Part of the wall in my bathroom is painted; when I asked about this the Man From Mapei said: "The tiles will only be bonded as strongly as the paint is fixed so it might be a good idea to scarify the paint off and apply primer G before fixing tiling." This is as far as I know normal emulsion wall paint (could possibly be a slightly water-resistant bathroom type). I've never removed wall paint before; I guess it would be nigh-on impossible if you wanted a finish suitable for painting over, but as something to take tile adhesive I can get a bit more agressive. Any suggestions for how to quickly remove it? Pete |
