In my new flat I had noticed flaking paint on the ceiling.
The general finish of the outer paint surface was slightly rippled
The ceiling paint comes away really easily in large pieces with a scraper (very theraputic)
The rippling seems to be the powdery layer underneath the outer paint layer. I wonder if it became rippled when the paint was applied and the powdery surface redistributed itself while it was wet?
The underneath layer is grey-white. It scrapes relatively easily into powder, revealing the plaster surface underneath seems to be lovely and smooth
Likely to be distemper?
What would PVA look like?
Thanks for any help
