Firstly, thank you for your time
I have a serious problem concerning the final finish on my newly plastered walls. the problem is that after the final top coat, i have been left with some areas having a patchy finish when viewed from different angles. when examined up close, these areas looked slightly pitted like small areo holes and looks slightly rough compared to the rest which is smooth.
I will list the steps etc below:
1. new re skim plaster on stairs/hall left bare for 5mths
2. lightly sanded and dusted off
3. sealed with emulsion watered down for mist coat
4. first coat of Dulux Matt emulsion applied with meduim pile Hamilton roller , left to dry 1 day
5. second coat Dulux matt emulsion , everything looked bang on!
6. gloss wood work, then noticed patches at various angles. looks ok head on.
7.repainted , still the same. slightly improved
8. lightly sanded patches with wet and dry 400 grade got a real smooth fine finish dusted off , repainted - still the same!
I think the sanded paint was tempory filling the small pitted holes???
I am really lost with this guys. I painted another re skimmed room ,exactly like the above and the result looked really good. SAME PLASTERER aswell.
Its has been suggested to use Zinsser BIN or Zinsser 123 on the patches then repaint. I think BIN is a oil base primer and 123 is water based. i think the 123 would be better as it would match in better with the emulsioned walls?
However, the plasterer is at a lost also and suggested to go over the patches very lightly with easy fill, to fill the tiny pitted patches and then sand and repaint.
I would be Very Very grateful if any one can help with any info on this
THANKS
