Hi guys,
I've recently had my main bedroom walls and ceiling, boarded out and skimmed. I waited for the plaster to dry out proper like about 3 weeks I think.
After doing a fair amount of research I went down the line of doing a mist coat with trade matt emulsion watered down by 20%.
Once the first coat was done I started getting finer than hairline horizontal cracks appearing on the internal wall and one neighbour wall. I have then gone ahead with the second coat and while they disappeared at first they have now reappeared.
I'm not sure what I should do now. I did try filling some of them with Polyfilla Stick before getting on with the second coat but they still reappeared.
Should I continue with the third coat watered down or undiluted. Should I try the Leyland Leytex paint on top this trade matt? Or final colour?
Any insight and advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time
Jay
