Hi,
I had a damp course completed a year ago in my living room. I waited for the fresh plaster to dry and painted a fresh coat of emulsion (a bit naive maybe). After a few months ago, there have been patches of the paint that are bubbling/flaking. I assume this is due to the plaster not being completely dry prior to painting. There are only a few patches but sods law right in the centre of a couple of the walls. The bubbling/flaking effect has seemed to stop increasing, safe to assume the plaster is now dry? would i be right to thinking all i need to do is sand down these patches, use a watered down emulsion paint solution for where the plaster is now bare and let the paint dry? I'm hoping to give all the walls a new lick of paint anyway, so how do i go about this without having the patches showing up (i.e the sanded down patches are maybe a lighter shade than the rest of the wall which have had by now 2 coats of paint)? Any Advice would be most appreciated!! thanks
