I have reciently been asked to skim the walls of a room, the walls are bricked roughly but are painted, I advised dot & dab , but they liked the idea of cement render and plaster skim, is it wise/possible to cement onto painted walls? thanks.

Thanks for that oilman..could be a close shaveoilman said:Nige F said:............ Or get them to sign a disclaimer..........
Don't rely on this. If it fails and they take you to court you will have to pay to get it sorted as you did a job you knew was suspect. Others have been this way before, don't follow them.

Dont you have problems with the boards moving if you plaster the same day ?
I drylined a wall the other week for a friend then skimmed the following day ..
You telling me i could have done it all in one go i only gave it one coat of board finish) is that correct or should it have a second coat once the first had dried a little ?
Cheers,
Mick.
