Hi all
I have tried to remove artex from the walls of a small utility room. I have scraped off all the large lumps & bumps. Beneath the artex I have found woodchip wallpaper, 10 to 15 layers of paint (gloss & emulsion) & finally bare brick - no plaster. My intention was to pva the walls & then skim plaster over them - will I have to remove all the remains of the paint from the wall bricks before I pva & skim?
