Painting over painters mate

Featured Replies

Afternoon all,

Wonder if anyone has any advice.

recently had the garage decorated in grey and found a couple of hairline cracks.

The painter fillered these first time around but they came back.

After some some advice I went with Geocel decorators mate as it’s flexible 

Had the ceiling re painted last night and unfortunately it’s left a shadow where the painters mate has been applied, same happened to me years ago painting over culk.

Do I need to put some sort of under coat on or strip it all back and start again?

Annoyed as I applied the decorators mate and was concerned about it showing through but shop advised it would be fine.

Thanks for any pointers

Show the pictures to the shop manager and ask their advice, and a refund.

Will do but doubt they will pay for the decorator to sort the issue unfortunately!

Is there some sort of a blocker I can paint on to stop it showing through then repaint the ceiling for the third time
