Hi all,
Just looking for some advice from any decorating experts on here please. I tried to mist coat some gypsum plaster the other day with Wickes Matt emulsion but reckon I might have c*cked it up!
I'm thinking I watered down the paint too much as I get a chalky residue on my fingers if I rub the wall in certain places. It can withstand the masking tape test easily, but if I rub hard enough it can also remove the paint completely in places (see poor quality photo)
Have I blown it? And if so how can I fix it - a wipe down or sanding and start again?
The room was plastered last year so good and dry. The instructions stated up to 40% dilution for fresh plaster (I think I may have gone 50/50). The instructions also stated to use the specialist mist coat emulsion for new plaster which is a bit contradictory.
