Hi,
Im decorating my bedroom for the second time since i moved in.
Some parts of the wall have blistered, i think this was damp as the house was left empty for a few years beforehand. I have scraped this off no problem but now on the other walls, where im filling using a lightweight filler, the paint is coming off. it goes soft and peels away from the old paint underneath.
I think that if i paint tomorrow using water based paint, it will bubble and ruin the finish. should i be sealing the existing surface beforehand? and what with?
Thanks
