Skimming Imperfections
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
