Hi all,
I am preparing to batten and board out an old bedroom in a stone built house. 3 of the walls are internal with 1 external. The lime plaster has been removed so it is all bare stone. The walls are all over the place so dot and dab isn't really an option and I'm looking for a level finish. What preparation, if any, would you recommend for the walls before I board them in? It's been suggested that I apply browning over all the walls to help tie it all together first but I've read elsewhere that stone is best left to breath if it isn't going to be lime plastered again. Also, the wall is very dusty so another suggestion was PVA to seal it before beginning to board. Any thoughts?
