Houses are slow to start then supervisors try to resolve poor organisation trying to make up their poor time management by painting on wet walls and sometimes the sealer diluted along with poor coverage, sometimes no sealer at all. Worse still, if the paint is diluted with water the paint becomes weak; combined with spray paint poor adhesion can occur. If supervision is abominable and walls are painted fast and wet, diluted with water and other cheap paint, you get a perfect storm of soft plaster and whispy poorly adhered paint sitting on the surface. The whiteset no time to release water, absorb CO2 and harden *All in my opinion only Re: Paint Peeling - Plaster too soft? 39Aug 05, 2018 12:54 pm The reason wet areas have to be waterproofed is moisture ingress via capillary action through the walls destroys the plaster on the back eg. the shower. You all know a leaky pipe destroys plaster so why would a supervisor make a decision to send in the white setters before the walls are dry? Why would a supervisor make the decision to send in the painters to seal freshly whiteset walls or send painters to seal wet walls destroying the plaster whiteset? Whats worse, painters not applying sealer and or watering down paint to save paint. And misting paint via a spray gun onto walls, worse, wet walls. Builder supervisors are called supervisors because they are wholly responsible for the building quality directive process. Builder supervisors are responsible for the outcomes. You dont go back to Holden and blame the paint guy because the paint is peeling. Just like the car maker, the builder is responsible. If the builder starts deflecting. Walk away and contact the Building Commision about a trbunal dispute. Don't waste your time with phones. All communication should be in writing. *All in my opinion only Re: Paint Peeling - Plaster too soft? 40Aug 18, 2018 3:48 pm 3 years later, the paint still peels away from a well sealed (dulux oil based sealer) section of wall. As most others in this thread have concluded, the issue is because the plasterer added things to the render which have leached through the plaster and weakened it. An expensive solution is to plasterboard the whole house. Much better, if you can stomach it, is just to repaint regularly. Wallpaper is another option.
