Interior crepi

Recommended Posts

A rather dull crepi'd wall in a living room would benefit from a coat of 'shade-of-white' paint. However the way the contents of a matchpot vinished instantly (and dried grey) it clearly need sealing with something.

I'm thinking of a cheap bucket of brico white cut with 10% PVA as a sealer coat. Anyone any other suggestions?

What have people used with success?? What didn't work?? What would you not do again??

Have the walls actually been crepi'd? Normally you can run emulsion straight over crepi w/o problems. Our walls are chalk plaster over stone and need to breathe (aspect rustique - isn't it always?!) but even so, they  covered with one coat of emulsion.

I wonder if someone has slapped on a pure chalk plaster and that's why it sucks (no pun intended). :-)
