Hi there, started a new thread after reading the painting external render thread.
Basically we had a seating area and various flower beds built out of brick and block (on various levels) and rendered last year. It was painted with a couple of coats of Sandtex but over the winter lots of render has blown off, and now every time I go out in the garden I see a fresh layer of paint peeling off.
I read on the other thread about thinning down the first coat of paint so that it gets soaked up rather than just being a layer of paint 'on top' s.o it looks like this is exactly what has happened .
How should I prepare this now? Should I be applying some sort of sealant? Im paranoid that if I scrape off all the loose bits now and repaint, that it will all come off again and be a gigantic paste of time. I thought with the better weather that what was going to come off would come off, but I keep seeing more new paint bubbles....
Any help much appreciated..
