Hi Guys,
New here so bear with me, Ive had a search but wasnt to sure with the result that came up.
Just want your opinions on skimming over artex. Now I own a terrace house and its covered in the stuff. We had a space between the kitchen and bathroom (anti-space) which was artex, Now i skimmed this, knocked all the nipples off the artex, PVC glue and multi finish. Now its not to bad of a job really for my first attempt.
Now a mate of mine has had some artex skimmed by professional, now he said they used a dark plaster before skimming, im taking this as a bond (is that correct, i forget) now would this be the best option, bond over the artex then skim with multi finish? or would you recommend the way I did the first room, just looking to see which would be the easier way.
Cheers
Dan.
