Page 1 of Any PAINTER/DECOR`s out there ? ? ADVICE required.

Hi all.

Bit of a DIY dilema.

When we bought our current house there was mad wall panel in the hall, which we proptly tore down, which pulled loads of plasterboard paper with it due to the huge amount of adhesive that had been used by the previous owner . .now,

I sealed the exposed paper with PVA and plastered with a finishing plaster today.

It has STILL gone through, and bubbled like hell, in the pattern where i had sealed the broken paper . .

cut a long story . . i need to keep the existing plasterboard there. WHAT THE **** can i do to a/ Get rid of bubbles.
b/ Seal with and start again.

HELP experts. . . .

Although I`m an engineer not a painter/decorator, heres a couple of tips that should help : -

1. Use a new stanely blade slit carefully across the bubble following any pattern line, for example the edge of a leaf ( This makes the slit invisible when dry), then using a small brush paint a small amount of overlap adhesive carefully behind the slits, smooth down gently with a seam roller and sponge of any excess immediatly.

2. You should be eable to purchase from the likes of B&Q a syringe type paint injector fill this with paste and after cutting a small slit with a stanley blade ( follow any pattern line ) inject the paste then smooth down.

I`ve used both methods successfully, although I prefer option 1.

Hope this of assisance.

Hi rigger

You could try `tape and joint` , it`s like a fine mesh sticky tape stuff. Available from all good DIY stores ;) . Knock back the bit you have already plastered, apply tape, re plaster. It`s what the pro`s use to give a good bonding surface for joints and corners. :)
