Hi all,
Recently lime plastered a number of internal walls and after letting them all go off and giving them a limewash to help stabilise them I have used earthborn claypaints throughout the house.
On 2 walls however I have a few patches where the paint has flaked and peeled off. One of the walls in question backs onto the fireplace which we did extensive works to (opened up to so that we could add a double sided log burner between 2 rooms).
As the cottage was effectively derelict it came with the inherent damp 'issues' from lack of ventilation, breathability etc etc.
I am guessing the problem could be one of two -
- salts leaching from the fireplace which had been previously closed off.
- 'dirty' sand used on the lime mix?
Has anyone experienced the same and or know of a solution (claypaint too expensive to keep using just to encounter the same issue). Maybe a stabilising solution of sorts would help?
cheers
