Hi - would appreciate some help here - got a newly plastered wall in the en-suite which the wife had sized and I then glued some T&G wood paneling and skirting to with some non solvent grab adhesive. All appeared nice, flat and tight.
Woke up at about 1am to cracking and popping and found that it was all pretty much hanging off the wall and I had to remove it to stop it crashing down so a complete disaster.
Now what went wrong ?. I see that paint has come off with the adhesive so looks like it may not have been sized properly ?. I also may have used the wrong adhesive ? - did I need solvented adhesive ? that wouldn't break down the emulsion paint ?.
I would also like to know what forces were in play to make the panels pop off in the first place as they were fully supported - did the wood panels (7mm thick) expand overnight and thus forced everything off the wall ??.
Any help would be appreciated, put it here in Building as not sure where it belonged. I really need to avoid make another mess. Thank you.
