'Salts' on emulsioned wall after a small leak
Hi all A bit of advice if you would kindly do so. We had a small gutter leak over our kitchen which resulted in some rainwater draining down one inside wall which is emulsion over plaster. The result is a kind of flaking with some form of powdering/salt. Before I re-emulsion, should this be treated in any way. Needless to say the original gutter problem is fixed Thanks and regards Mike |

Needless to say the original gutter problem is fixed Thanks and regards No, just let it fully dry and remove the flaky loose stuff, and repaint. No point in PVA-ing as emulsion is pretty much what PVA is, with color. Just expect to use several coats. But it MUST be fully dry first- several weeks with heat on. Mike |
