Nooooo...the wife painted on my new plastered walls...

mondyman · 26 Feb 2007

Got up from bed this morning and found the wife has emulsioned on new plastered walls...it could have been a good thing to get her painting if it worked.....but......sadly it didnt...

Shes left huge air bubbles under the emulsion using the roller...i rubbed one earlier and a huge piece rubed off...ive tried painting over the rubbed off areas for now to re roll when it dries...not holding out much hope tho...looks like i'll have to scrape the wall and re paint...there must be a way anyone ?

1 peed off guy

One-Coat Emulsions are rubbish. It aint your wife's fault the walls are bubbling. It is the One-Coat Emulsion. One-Coat Emulsion is designed to applied to previously emulsioned surfaces and not new bare plaster. Unfortunatly you gona have problems forever on your One-Coat Emulsion. When you dicide to paper over it at a later date then it will blister. When you decide to re-paint it will blister. STOP using One-Coat now.

well ive done the rest of the house in crown and dulux and not blowing my trumpet but its looking good.....its done now anyway 8 coats of paint over the rubbed off blisters with a brush , and a roll later on , et voila...youd never know

No being cheeky. One-Coat Emulsion is far to thick for new/bare plaster. Therefore, the problems will become apparent a few years down the line unfortunatly.
