Paint flaking off old walls

[JP_]

Old house, 1934. Walls were papered, all striped off. Sanded down and painted.

Mostly ok, bit some patches very bad with paint falling off.

It's this likely some wallpaper glue still on the wall.

Can i use this? Bought for the kids ...

How much water?

 

[Johnny Allround]

I don’t know is the answer. I wouldn’t like to recommend something I haven’t used or tried and for the sake of £3.99 from BM bargains I wouldn’t risk it. Sorry.

Understood. We're just keen to crack on and shops are shut. It's going on, let's hope it sticks.

 

[Johnny Allround]

Do you not have a b & m bargains near you?

 

[JP_]

There is, bit I'll take my chances with what i have, trying to avoid shops as much as possible, perfect walls isn't worth dying for!

 

[Johnny Allround]

Ok take care, stay safe !.

It's better, but still flakey in some areas.

Will order your pva online and finish next weekend hopefully.
