Have you ever had to do a full skim coat after some removal? I got a call today asking if I do skim coat, lady and her husband removed w p, sed it was bad, I'm thinking it's just past residue,some speckling, sanding, and prim. I haven't seen it but never had one be that bad after all the glue is removed. I am curries because i do have a big wall paper remove and paint coming up and it wood Reilly ruin my week if I had to skim coat it after thinking Spackle and prime was the way to go.:notworthy::notworthy: Thanks 4 all the helpful replays and even the smart azz sarcastic ones, Thanks.
Sure have! Happens every so often that the face paper of the drywall wants to come off with the wallpaper. Just remove the paper, wash, oil prime or use Guards, skim, sand and prime. My crew is pretty good at skiming, so we usually make short work of it.
Thanks ya ll doesn't sound or look as hard as I thought at first, I was under the impression of the whole wall getting done,top to bottom side to side.
I do a lot of plaster repair, and end up full skimming rather than just spot all the time. It actually comes out better because the whole wall has the same consistency. think level 5 finish. Prime after with gardz and you're golden.
This is what Draw-tite and it's wannabe Gardz are for.
The Draw-tite MSDS gives a good yet brief description for Surface Preparation. Then skim as necessary, smooth, and apply two coats of Draw-tite or Gardz
Honestly, would be nice if you actually knew the facts before posting. Not trying to be an azz but how could someone help you when you have no idea what you are dealing with?
When it come to removing wall paper, NOTHING is common. You need to be prepared for the worse case scenario at all times. Not saying you will have the worse case but, be prepared.
No problem Burt, good luck in your wall paper adventure :thumbsup:
