dob and dab on painted wall?
Simple question, I think! I want to use dob and dab to put up some
plasterboard on a brick wall. The only problem is that the wall has been previously painted. Can anyone tell me if this will be a problem, and if so, suggest what I might do about it. Many thanks. |

Thanks. never saw the original post..odd. it could be a problem depending on what you are dabbing with as it were. I'd check a dab first and see if it rips off. Mind you, it doesn't take a lot to hold platserboard up. -- To people who know nothing, anything is possible. To people who know too much, it is a sad fact that they know how little is really possible - and how hard it is to achieve it. |

Thanks. cut/scratch roughly through it into whatever's underneath - with a stanley knife - where your dabs will be. Jim K |

Your original post never made it to the group, probably Google again. Firstly, it's dot and dab, and I shouldn't imagine the paint will affect the adhesive, but you can scratch it off in patches if you like, certainly wouldn't do any harm, but you don't need to go to town on it |

The only problem is that the wall has been previously painted. The dot-n-dab adhesive may key into the paint, but probably not through it. Thus the strength of the bond depends on that of the existing paint to brick, which is usually very strong. A guide is you stick sellotape to it, leave it a while and pull it off - if paint comes with it then scratch through the paint to brick. If the wall is external you could use insulation backed plasterboard to improve comfort and reduce energy bills. Just worth mentioning, even if it has cavity insulation adding 25mm Celotex backed plasterboard will still improve comfort & re-heat time. |
