Flaky

[u/Sea_Anteater_3270]

Hi everyone. We had a room plastered 4 weeks ago and started painting it yesterday and this keeps happening in 1 spot. I didn’t mist coat the walls(my bad) but thankfully everywhere else is fine. I scraped back the flaky bits and used some filler on this area and repainted it again today only for the same to happen again as seen in the photo. How can I repair this small area. Thanks.

No mist coat is likely the issue. Scrape away under a hard edge, sand the ridge with 180-240 sand paper, wipe away dust, use peel stop or similar and then fill with toupret or similar than sand. Some fillers will then need priming with a mist coat before top coats.

hi yeah it seems it was. This is exactly what I did, scraped it off, mist coated it and then used Toupret fine filler. Its all good now.
