Hi all,
A few months ago I re-decorated my bedroom. The walls around the windows had some mould as it’s a room that suffers from high moisture levels,. However, I (thought) I made sure I got rid of the mould before re-painting.
Recently, to my horror, I noticed that the paint around the window had started bubbling up and certain areas felt a bit sticky to the touch. I’m guessing the bubbling is due to me not properly preparing the walls, and the stickiness due to not dealing with the moisture levels (though I now have a dehumidifier and air the room each day).
I really want to make sure I deal with this problem properly as I don't want to have to go back to it again - that'd be too depressing! So my plan is to strip off all the paint off around the affected areas and then paint on some damp-block, followed by a layer of stain block. Then, when that's dry, go ahead and re-paint....
Does this seem like an appropriate plan? What damp / stain blockers would you recommend, or are they all much the same?
Any help/advice would be greatly received!
Thanks!
