I've successfully stripped the cornice and ceiling rose in my Victorian flat with Kling Strip which while a pain in the rear has revealed detail I never know was there. I've then applied two coats of alkali resistant primer/sealer (International Paints) to prevent staining of the top coat, which my test patch proved is absolutely necessary.
My question is whether to bother rubbing down the surface before applying emulsion. As it's a primer is this necessary? However it is solvent based and has produced a shiny surface, which leaves me feeling I should treat it like gloss and sand it to give it a key before the emulsion.
Any suggestions?
Cheers Dave
