Hi all,
I've recently gutted, replastered and redocorated my lounge.
This included pulling off hollow patches of plaster above the fireplace and replastering, as well as having the whole room skimmed.
There was several small patches which weren't completely dry when I started the mist coat (needs must).
Anyway the painting has been finished and I still have a few small patches (see the pictures).
It's now around 6 weeks since the plastering, and 4 weeks since the painting.
There are a couple of very small patches which I can only describe as "grease" like. See the first picture below. These are on the chimney breast itself. I have a few similar patches on the breast in the bedroom above too on the same chimney breast.
I then have a slightly different patch near a window which seems to have partially dried out, leaving dried out marks, but still seems to have a few darker marks as well. See the second picture.
My question is - what is the recommended approach to tackle these 2 problems? I'm tempted just to wait on the patch that is drying out leaving water marks, and then just paint over it again?
I think the other more "grease" like marks need a slightly different approach?
Cheers
Jon
