I recently had my walls skimmed in my house and at the time took the advice NOT to use a pva on the wall. Instead I use a contract paint directly on the walls once the plaster had dried, then painted with a standard emulsion on top.
It's now been a few months and the walls are really starting to crack up, and my question is how can I fix this and stop it from cracking any more? I have a flexi paint will that work?
Bob DIY, Either the plastering is defective - is it the paint or the plaster which is cracking, or if it is the paint layer you did not thin down the first coat sufficiently. end
