Hello,
Had the hallway walls skimmed and after it dried, sanded down with 180 and 240 then washed down proper clean. The walls were very smooth to touch
I used Dulux contract trade paint for new plaster to seal the plaster then Dulux contract matt white emulsion as the top coat.
I am horrified to find patches on wall showing through the paint.
The wall appeared very smooth after sanding so was not expecting this.
I sanded down again and the rough patches became even smoother but had tiny holes in them as in the images.
If i sanded more, it would probably remove the skim coat so was confident at this point that the paint would cover these but it hasn't so far.
Its very noticeable with daylight through our glass front door.
I cannot seem to cover or hide blemishes with the paint and have painted it 3 times so far.
I wanted a uniform, blemish free paint job on the walls the patchiness shows up making it look grey and dirty.
Can anyone give me advice on what to do to correct this issue please.
