Going to sag eventually

Sealing is very important but a cheap PVA ($15/gallon) is adequate for most applications.

Hi I did a jointing compound skim followed by a mist coat. I have then done 3 coats of a dark coloured clay paint. This is how I have handled gypsum skim coats before and its worked.... However, I have found quite a big difference in the colour of the cutting in paint to the roller paint (not every wall evertime) so much so that I bought more of the top coat (£££) and went again. If anything it is now worse. I am wondering if its not priming? Can I now prime with gardz over the top of the paint, and then simply paint again?

Don’t waste money on this. Just seal it with cheap white emulsion watered down, 50/50.

Im about to paint my walls soon( New Build) pretty sure it's just magnolia paint straight onto plasterboarding. Will sand down walls. But still afraid oll pant with peal off when rolling new paint. Will this product help stop that? Thanks.

@lousworkshop 2 ай бұрын

Hey 👋🏻 Yes, definitely. If it’s a new build then it’s probably been painted with a cheap contract Matt and this stuff will seal that in a give you a great surface for paper or paint 🙌🏼

Finally, someone who gets it. I am 100% a "seal your drywall" guy, and it's refreshing to hear someone who understands the materials we are working with. For all of you DIY folks out there lost in a sea of amateur/bad advice, _listen to this woman_ , she is spot on.

Might i suggest the old school alternative that seems to be more bulletproof. Unwaxed shellac to seal the wall, then prime the unwaxed shellac with oil based primer. The oil primer gives off a lot of odor while it dries but let me tell you nothing will get through that shellac layer.

@lousworkshop 3 ай бұрын

Shellac is a great product to use. In the UK we use a product called Zinnser BIN but yes it really does smell bad🤪

No painter in the world uses a bought sealer, you water down a very cheap white emulsion to a 70/30 mix to seal the paint

I’ve recently started decorating a place I moved into and the walls were coming out in many many bubbles. So thats because who ever painted the place when it was built didn’t seal the plasterboards?

I've been told new builds are no longer getting skimmed with plaster over the plasterboard. I've just stripped back an old edwardian terrace and will be in the process of plaster-boarding shortly, given the labour required to plaster/skim the whole house i was wondering what your thoughts were on whether its worth the money to get it skimmed or whether sealing and painting straight onto plasterboard just does the job and saves a bunch of cash?

@lousworkshop 8 ай бұрын

If you have the budget I’d have it skimmed every time. For me it’s a better finish, easier to redecorate and easier to repair.
