    Paint over dry caulk

    I have caulked between the French doors and edges of the walls in my dining room, however when putting emulsion over it once it is fully dry, the paint almost disappears into a watery type texture. I presume this is due to moisture? I fi were to put primer/ undercoat over the top to act as a sealant, then reapply the emulsion once fully dry, would this do the trick?

    Uninsulated Brick wall plastering

    Hi. Looking at getting my external walls replastered on the inside, the original horsehair lime plaster is coming away as we've replaced the windows. What would tradespeople recommend to replace with? I am hesitant to use hardwall due to the fact its a double brick skin and will carry some moisture naturally and needs to breathe. I have found this product: https://proofshield.co.uk/product/prooftherm-insulating-render-plaster/ which we are considering using Thanks
