Sorry for the few threads lately. I know it'll annoy some. It just seems that for every problem i get past there's another one waiting & i'm a little stuck as to what to do.
The walls have been tanked to 1.5m & boarded. This was December 2015. The chimney breast was done (boarded) around March this year. The plaster has seemed dry for a long time now. The dabs took a while to go but eventually they did, some time in January. Whether they have totally dried out right through? I don't know.
I put on a mist coat today. Ok it was on the watery side - 50/50. Probably too watery. The dabs are showing through it - both where the tanking is & above. It's coloured the paint a little yellow.
You can't see too great once the photos are on PC but can on my phone & in person.
That last pic you can see a couple rows at the top & then a bit at the skirting. More obvious in person.
Someone has said about heat - i have the radiators set to come on at 6pm to get to 16c. This photo was taken around 5pm. House temp probably said about 12-13c.
The dabs never showed when i dampened the walls this week.
I don't know if this is normal because of the temp, whether it'll go away or what.
I haven't just jumped here either. I did googling but Sovereign chemicals say to not use a vapour barrier paint on top due to the K11 system. I've emailed them to ask what they expect to happen if i do
.
Just totally stuck as to what to do. Hoping that someone else has had the same problem & can say "i did this & it worked".
