mattyg1086 52 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 So i filled the cracks in the walls sanded them down applied a white matt undercoat and a top layer of silk. Everything was fine untill i gave it a second coat and now its all bubbling up what is happening Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CraignTod 278 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Did you let the filler dry? Im dure it takes 24 hours to dry before painting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
torchey 1,202 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 How long did you give it between coats sounds like first one wasnt dry enough... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAG1980 116 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Is it new plastered walls? If not it could be a number of problems ie... damp rising when paint is applied to the problem areas its call3d effavecence pardon the spelling were the moisture from the wall is trapped between the film coating of the viynl silk! You could try a eggshell finish to solve the problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattyg 1,862 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I've been getting this problem recently with the second coat of silk (raised dimples about 5mm diameter) Had the dulux rep out and he reckons the first coat wasn't dry..... It bloody was!!!! I'll let you know if they come up with any other reason. Cheers, Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dunkanon 380 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 let it dry out sand off the bubbles and touch up the area with a bit more paint. happened to me many times, usually on fresh plaster. No big deal, just the paint reacting to something it dont like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
