Hi We had a room skimmed back in August, and have just got round to having it painted. Soon after the painting had been completed we noticed some bubbling on the surface of the wall. We mentioned this to the painter and his team visited this morning. It seems that the plaster skim has not bonded to the wall and the addition of the paint has caused the plaster to delaminate. The wall is very chalky where the plaster is coming off the wall. It looks like the skim coat has bonded to the paint that was on the wall as opposed to the wall struggling to decide what needs to be done, do we just get the blown patches filled, the plasterer has suggested that would suffice, or should we, and I hesitate to suggest this, remove the whole skim coat and start again from scratch?
In short: Can dpc cream or rods be inserted in to fresh, wet mortar. In length: I have rising damp on a connecting wall, not an exterior one. Under the house is a small crawl space. I used dry zone rods, and cream on 2 different areas, to see what's best to use. When I did it, I found the mortar was like mud. It smelt, felt and looked exactly like mud. I've found this regularly on my house. Anyway, I wanted to remove the motor and replace it with a fresh mortar line (3ft in length at most) in order to give the dryzone rods a proper surface to be in. My understanding is that because dpc cream can be inserted in a wet environment, I should be able to install it directly into the new mortar line without waiting for the mortar to cure. Is this worth it, or should I wait for the mortar to cure first?
