Interesting information. Does the same method of application apply if you were to strip wallpaper from a plastered wall. Do you still need a mist coat of emulsion or is there another treatment due to impregnation of wallpaper paste? Great vids! Cheers
@POUSEaroundtheHOUSEАй бұрын
This is just for fresh plaster so the paint absorbs correctly into the plaster. If you peel wall paper, a lot of people use sugar soap to clean the wall prior to painting. But if you wall is in bad shape, sometimes better to have it plastered again to get a nice new finish. Hope that helps.

Hi Pouse, good vid 👍. I used to do this but now I use the large 15l tubs of leyland trade super leytex for new plaster. It has a permeable film that allows the plaster to breathe and still dry out. You don't have to thin it and get extremely good opacity with the first coat and dries quick so it doesn't half speed things up. Worth checking out, I think you'll like the results. (painted quite a bit of fresh plaster, I don't work for leyland haha) cheers.

I'm sure there are many suitable ways to do it. It's only after a few years of living with it before you find out if it was any good or not. Most painter decorators or property renovators paint a wall and walk away never to see how well their finish lasted. Only by living with your work for years do you truly find out how good your work is! Thanks for wacthing.

Hi, thanks for another great video. Would you recommend the same technique for painting on (1) plaster that is fully dry, that has been done about one year ago and never painted before, (2) plaster in a bathroom.
@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE3 жыл бұрын
Yes, still worth soaking it down as it just stops the paint forming a peel. In fact an older wall is probably worse and will definitely suck the moisture up. Only thing with a bathroom is you may want to use a silk or specific bathroom emulsion for your final coat as they will wipe clean. A matt emulsion finish has a tenancy to come off when you wipe it. Best of luck with it!

Same rules apply. Paint needs to be thined so it adheres and soaks in to the plaster. A thin coat dusted on with 515-517 tip. Allow to fully dry before coating up....and only use a graco 495. Anything else is just not cricket
@adamdavidkenyon66642 жыл бұрын
Hi mate, thanks for the video, it's great. I need to ask a question. I got some cheap matt paint from local The Range. It doesn't say anything on the back about watering down. So I am pretty new to this and sanded wall down recently to do a test for getting a mist coat right. Sanded the paint off back to bare plaster, smooth and cleaned. However I seem to be getting a weird rough texture when rolling the mist coat, using a Harris seriously good set with a medium pile roller. Seems like some weird stipple effect but it's very textured. I tried 3 parts paint 1 part 1 water as suggested on Dulux website and also 50/50 but still get it. It's gone once I sanded it down lightly but shouldn't have to do this? Not sure if I am doing things wrong but im not even entirely sure how to measure this stuff out. Since it's a small test area I just got a plastic double cream container left over, cleaned, and fill one whole pot of paint and same amount of water, mixed it together and rolled it on from tray.
@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE2 жыл бұрын
The textured effect can be caused by the roller, but the only other thing is if you've sanded too much plaster off the wall. Did you clean all the dust off before you started painting? Without seeing it it's difficult to say. Best of luck with it.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE3 жыл бұрын
If the basic matt emulsion is in grey then you could. The main reaon is that most basic matt emulsion is white, it's the chepest and it provides a nice base coat and colour for any colour to go over the top. Hope that helps.

This is a great video like all in your channel. I want to paint a bathroom with an acrylic eggshell. Do you still recommend doing the mist coat on the plaster the way you described in this video with Matt emulsion and then use the acrylic eggshell or would you have other suggestions? Thanks
@tonysmith34752 жыл бұрын
I’m just in the process of doing the same thing to our bathroom. Part of the room has already been painted with an eggshell but a new radiator has meant I need to cover the areas of new plaster (went through the wall to add another rad next door). I’ve mist-coated the new stuff and will do a single basic white matt emulsion coat, let it dry and then go over it with the eggshell. My understanding is that applying the eggshell/acrylic to new plaster, may retain moisture within the new plaster if it hasn’t fully cured and by using a mist coat with trade matt emulsion, letting it fully dry out, then painting with a coat of the same but non-diluted matt paint (and dry out), the acrylic paint coat in the bathroom will sit on top and properly repel moisture. I’m not a pro but have first (and second!) hand experience of peeling paint in bathrooms…hope this helps.
