About 18 months ago when I first moved into ny house I painted one room with dulux silk. The paint already on the wall was matt. 3 of the 4 walls were no problem at all, but one bubbled up badly, it was as if the paint just wouldn't stick to it.
Wishful thinking I thought it might dry out and the air bubbles would go but they didn't and I'm only now looking at sorting it. When the heating's on and especially when drying clothes in that room, the air bubbles get worse, like a teenager breaking out in acne! (see pics)
I've resigned myself to the fact that the paint is going to have to be stripped off the wall but how? I've read elsewhere about using a sanding pole or even an orbital sander but what do you guys recommend? And once sanded, what would be the procedure for repainting successfully? The house is a 1980's build, the wall in question is a downstairs load baring wall so it's a proper wall not a drywall.
