Hi guys...
Help needed please.
Recently removed the artex from our living room ceiling, after having to tolerate the peeling mess the previous occupier left us with for ny on 12 months.
Having removed the artex a smooth platster board type "thing" was revealed and contrary to my belief I was told i could paint straight onto it.. It wasn't paper lined board, quite a glossy, smooth finish.
20 minutes after applying the paint.. it was dropping to the floor, just peeling, so i pulled it all off and PVC sealed it.. this also just peeled off when the paint was applied.
Final option, apart from ripping the whole thing down, was lining paper, which appears to have worked, apart from the odd seam thats folded off the ceiling.. Is it worthwhile now the lining paper is on, sealing that with PVA before painting?
Hope someone out there can help
