Hi all,
First post and need help as im struggling to know whats best.
My hall was painted in Silk, stupidly when i wanted to paint over it, instead of gently sanding the area so the new paint would adhere to it, i painted over it with a cheap white matt that was watered down as i was using it to seal new plaster. I then painted over with a mid sheen paint but it bubbled. Double trouble of silk and mat meant it wasnt taking. The new plaster that was sealed was fine though. So i spent ages with a small pin, popping the bubbles. Most reduced and you would never tell. Some i gently had to tap to get the paint flat and it worked well. Nobody could tell.
That was 6 years ago and its paint time again. This time i was looking again at a mid sheen or matt paint but i do not want any bubbling. So the effected area needs to be sealed and primed.
Can anyone give me any advice whether to use a solvent, water or Shellec based primer ?
Whats the best product or cheapest for the job.
Ive used the Zinser stuff in the past and they have been brilliant but expensive especially Shellec based BIN product. They do a water based version, 1,2,3 i think its called thats cheaper but will it do the trick being water based ?
Any guidance much appreciated. And yes i was a nob painting over the silk with matt!
