Hi there,
Please can you advise, we have stripped all the wallpaper off our bedroom walls today (3 bloody layers of the stuff!). Underneath is some paint on plaster. There are a few places where the paint has come off leaving some small bits of exposed plaster.
Is it possible to sand down lightly and smooth this out, and then put a basecoat over this? Or should we be coveringthe gaps in the paint with some sort of primer/polycell product? Apologies if this is obvious but I'm not a painter! or... should we be taking all the paint off and starting again (if this can be avoided it would be much better!!)
I was looking at the Ronseal Basecoat - would this be suitable? We would be using Dulux Once Matt as our topcoat.
Many thanks in advance!
