"Smoothing" ceiling.... (removing artex & plastering)
Well we all know rough artex is out of fashion! I'm about to gut our en-suite shower room and hence I will be (have been) on here doing far too much research instead of working. Small room - only seen by me & the missus. So a good room to practice on! ;) The FAQ suggests steaming off the existing artex - so I will do this over the weekend. Then cut holes for recessed halogen lights. If it is still rough I'll sand it fairly smooth. But before painting I assume it'll need a thin skim of plaster. Is it plaster or is there something else to use? And does this just bond to the plasterboard or does it need some form of preparation/adhesive? Cheers! |

Due to your comments, my dad saying "Eek! Don't do it" and a mate
saying "oh ohhhh" - I am going to live with what I have! A lick of paint and leave as is. TBH - work vs. reward isn't really going to pay back here. Rest of house is the same artex - so it still looks like it fits. The time is best spent doing the rest of the job properly. Thanks! |
