hi to all who read this, and thanks in anticipation of some good advice.
I have a formed a traditional type pantry in the kitchen of my renovated and extended house, the back wall of the pantry is external cavity wall the one side wall is also a cavity wall but is now an internal wall as the main kitchen extension no encloses this, the other side wall I built muself as a dividing wall, the front of the pantry is the door with a nibs either side.
Having stripped back to brick i wanted to paint the walls for a nice natural feel, I emulsioned the walls (2 coats) but found staining came through from the bricks on all walls.. I decided to give a good coat of oil based paint to all walls and when this had dried gave a coat of emulsion to get back to a matt finish.
I know have a problem on the back and side wall, the paint is flaking there appears to be mineral salts at the surface and when i rub my hand across it flakes to the floor and it leaves a damp residue on my fingers... I think this is a astraightforward case of efforvecence however I have read somewere that there may be a reaction to the oil based paint i applied.
either way as anyone any good advice or recommend a product or process that will stabilise the wall so I can re-decorate??
My preferred finish is a flat matt,
Many thanks
Russell
