Hi folks,
I'm preparing to paint the pebbledash on the house and was wondering whether I need to use a stabliser first, or not? The house (brick on the bottom half, white painted pebble dash on top half) had been painted before, but it had all blistered and began flaking off. I've given it a good brush and removed a lot of the old paint, but not all. Looking at the areas where there is now no paint, they are light greyish and when I run my finger along them, some white powder comes off. Do I need to do use a stabiliser before I paint? It's really only one side of the house (side most exposed to winds and direct sun) that the paint has peeled off. The other sides just need a new top coat. I plan to use dulux weathershield smooth, as I was given 2 cans by someone who had bought too much and lost their receipt.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I'm stuck on what to do. I know stabilising is a tricky subject - do, don't, waste of time, thin first coat instead. Really confusing
