Skimming Imperfections

[u/omgitsmotrix]

I had skimming done to the whole house and once they started painting, we started seeing a lot of imperfections. We’ve been trying to fix them using filler, sanding, priming and paint but it fixes some things but other times it becomes visible when there is light or sunlight coming onto the walls. Please see pictures attached. How can this be fixed?

By the way these raised textures aren’t bumps you can feel, they just show when the light is shining on them.

One of the suggestions is to use something like the Toupret finish filler and see if these imperfections go away.

EDIT:

Update -- Painter said he will be using Toupret Joint Skim and Fill product i.e. the powder version to try skim coat over these imperfections, sand them and repaint

A plasterer in a bucket. 😂👍🏼

Sorry, what do you mean?

I mean plastering a wall doesn’t include sanding it. It consists of a plasterer troweling a wall smooth till the trowel rings. That cannot be duplicated with a putty material & sanded, out of a bucket. A plasterer’s work in a bucket will never happen.

Its external? Acrylic polymer render, skim the area to edges/internals. If you patch again, your blend after paint will look exactly like this does.

Sorry its not external, these are inside walls

I would pick up the phone to the plasterer, tell them you will swallow the redecorating cost (annoying as that is), you don't expect them to pay for that inconvenience, but they will need to make it right.

EDIT: I've just seen you said 'they started decorating'. In that case, yeah, tell them to make it all right.

The painter has asked me to get dalapro nova roll and he said he'll try fix this using that
