So I thought I'd give the dining room a lick of paint to freshen it up :-) But it made the wall paper bubble off the wall :-( So I removed the wall paper :-) But the walls were in a bad condition :-( So I filled the holes, sanded them and painted them :-) But along the top of the wall, where some past owner had painted the wall a top foot deep border in white, there are now browny yellow stains coming through the paint :-(
It's never easy is it...
I actually had tried scraping off the old paint, it was patchy, and got off the flaky stuff. Then I sanded off as much as would come off. It's so old and well stuck, that if I held the sander there too long it would remove the plaseter around the paint, but not the paint. Anyway, I managed to get it quite smooth, and put the white emulsion paint over the wall. Now that first coat has dried, and the old white paint that is underneath (at the top remember) is making browny yellow stains! The old paint is white! Hello very confusing.
I could go out and BUY (sigh) stain block. But I was wondering, would white Gloss Undercoat do the same job? Because I have some of that already.
Help :-sob sob sob
