I can upload photos if required but i don't think it'll be necessary...
We removed that vinyl like wallpaper from our kitchen (you know - that old square stuff) to reveal a level skimmed wall behind it which we plan on cleaning up & painting.
As we progressed through the de-wallpapering, in sections it hadn't been skimmed smooth. There was some sort of yellow coating behind it.
So basically we want this skimmed so it looks like the rest of the walls & can be painted & look 'as one'.
It's only a small area & it's proving difficult to get a plasterer out, never mind for such a small job.
A relative of mine has done quite a bit of plastering in his time & is going to help out. He wont accept payment but i don't like to just take freebies.
Since i work for a builders merchant & i can get various plaster as there's many burst bags etc i'd like to provide the required materials & he just does the work.
So is it JUST Multifinish i will need or is there anything required to go under this?
Just basically finding out what i'll need for such a job so i can provide it.
