Painting Over Conti Board
Whilst doing a bit of touching-up, I discovered that the genius who
extended my front hallway used white conti board to line the inside of the walls and then plastered over it (for god's sake, why?) A bit of sanding has revealed some of the white board and I need to cover it up. Now if I start to key it using a sander, more and more will get revealed as the plaster doesn't stick to it very well and I'll end up doing the whole damn wall. However, if I can paint over it I can make the best of a bad job (ideally, I'd put a thin layer of some plaster-like material). But emulsion isn't going to be too keen to stick to plastic. Can anyone help with a suggestion for something to go over the contiboard first? Thanks spog |

Once it dries out, it should tighten up enough to cover the pretty bad blemishes. Wallpaper paste seems to stick to Conti-Board if memory serves correctly and paper is always a good base for paint. --- www.basecuritysystems.no-ip.com Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
