Hi, thought I'd repaint the inside of my house as the paint is cracking in some areas and comes off easily in some spots but other spots require a little more effort. After reading through these forums it seems my plaster wasn't sealed before it was painted? Any ideas of the best way to remove the paint to seal it? Or can I just get the easier bits off and paint sealer binder over the top?
