Paint help for kitchen.
 
Hi, my kitchen walls have started to peel.
Not sure if its the old house owners have used normal paint or not sealed the plaster before painting.

My questions are :-

1. I have areas that i have used a stripper blade on to remove the paint and areas that it seems are far harder to remove. Whats the best and easiest way of removing this old paint. will a heat gun remove it? paint stripper chemicals?

2. When its all removed i will have left , bare plaster.
What sort of paint do i need to use to sort this out?

I've been told by a local DIY shop to use contract matt paint and use 2 coats.
and no need for kitchen paint.

I've read about putting PVA mixed on the first few coats so starting to get confused on how i should proceed.

I'm happy for white or magnolia colour just don't want to do the job and find it pealing in a years time again.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Regards

plaster needn't be sealed

1. I have areas that i have used a stripper blade on to remove the paint and areas that it seems are far harder to remove. Whats the best and easiest way of removing this old paint. will a heat gun remove it? paint stripper chemicals?


Imagine painting new paint on top of stripper soaked plaster. No. Scrape, sand or skim if necessary, but normally there's no need to remove anything that's stuck.

2. When its all removed i will have left , bare plaster.
What sort of paint do i need to use to sort this out?


Emulsion. Satin is more cleanable than matt, and decent stuff more cleanable than cheapskate.

I've been told by a local DIY shop to use contract matt paint and use 2 coats.
and no need for kitchen paint.


Satin's better

I've read about putting PVA mixed on the first few coats so starting to get confused on how i should proceed.


PVAing the plaster is a fashion without need. Paint onto bare dry plaster results in the liquid in the paint being sucked into the plaster, leaving it short of glue, hence the peeling. Solutions:
a) 50/50 diluted ****coat first
b) paint the plaster with water, wait 5 minutes then paint as normal.
c) dilute PVA onto plaster first. Too much and you get slicks paint won't stick to.
I prefer B, it's quicker & stronger. C I'd avoid.

You should look at improving ventilation by using an extractor fan
and/or cooker hood extracting to outdoors before repainting. The
flaking is probably caused by humidity levels being too high.
"Condensing" dryers or washer dryers which do not extract to outside
also contribute a lot of water vapour to the kitchen if that is where
they are situated.

Yes. The watercoat is extremely fast to do, nothing like a coat of paint where you need to take some care. So you get a full strength coat in a few minutes more than it takes to do the ****coat. With a ****coat much of the diluted glue soaks into the plaster, weakening the paint. With B it doesn't.

Depends how much one values ones time ****ing about making **** coats.

If you have large ceilings like mine (YMMV) ****ing about painting
with water would mean the start point would be dry before I
completed the water coat.

I wouldn't dream of stealing your trademark approach nige :-D :-D

So you're saying once you've slapped water over your plaster
ceiling when you did it (assuming you've ever actually done it
;-) ) it stayed wet "forever"? Interesting if doubtful....

(NB A sealer comes ready to apply ;-) )

Hope that's clearer for you.

Yes. The watercoat is extremely fast to do, nothing like a coat of paint
where you need to take some care. So you get a full strength coat in a
few
minutes more than it takes to do the ****coat. With a ****coat much of
the
diluted glue soaks into the plaster, weakening the paint. With B it
doesn't.



Well that's every professional painter and decorator I have ever seen at

It's not wrong to use a ****coat, just quicker to use water.

Well, lets look at the facts. I've been using this painting method for about 13 years, and it's served me just fine. The basic theory of glue content in paint isn't complex, and the theory behind this method adds up too. You on the other hand have never tried the method, have no valid facts or argument to offer, and can only resort to verbal abuse, as is your tendency. Not much more need be said.

I've used the diluted first coat for 50 years and it works. There
is no need for finesse on the edges with the first coat, just slap it on.

yeah. either works.

AS the guy says, the important thing is damp plaster or sealed plaster.
Emulsion paint is sort of PVA plus pigment anyway.

"The paint type known as Emulsion in the UK and Latex in the USA is a
water-borne dispersion of sub-micrometer polymer particles. These terms
in their respective countries cover all paints that use synthetic
polymers such as acrylic, vinyl acrylic (PVA), styrene acrylic, etc. as
binders."
(Wiki/paint)

So PVA that isn't diluted is just as bad.

Getting the plaster wet is what is important. But its almost as quick to
slap on a **** coat as to slap on water. So why not get at least a bit
of colour build at the same time?

I may not be totally accurate, but as far as I can tell PVA and other
acrylics start off as very dilute things (emulsion pain) through
slightly thicker things (PVA sealers/acrylic paint) to even thicker
things (PVA glue) to really thick things (decorators caulk).


The underlying substrate is PVA, but that gets loaded with various
pigments and fillers in the case of the caulks and paints

Well, lets look at the facts. I've been using this painting method
for about 13 years, and it's served me just fine. The basic theory
of glue content in paint isn't complex, and the theory behind this
method adds up too. You on the other hand have never tried the
method, have no valid facts or argument to offer, and can only
resort to verbal abuse, as is your tendency. Not much more need be
said.
But how many times have you done this?
I haven't kept count. At a rough estimate maybe a dozen times.


I've used the diluted first coat for 50 years and it works. There
is no need for finesse on the edges with the first coat, just slap it on.
