Allow the surface to dry and then rub down using 'wet and dry' abrasive paper and a solution of warm water and detergent. Once rinsed and dried the area can be repainted. This is caused by painting over contaminated surfaces such as wax, oil or polish. The paint cannot adhere to the surface and draws away leaving unpainted areas. This can also be caused by contamination on the brush. Putting it right

With a suitable primer in hand, it's time to apply it to the wall. Use a paint roller for large areas and a brush for corners and edges. Apply the primer in a thin, even layer—don't worry if the old paint color shows through, as the skim coat will cover it. Allow the primer to dry completely before moving on to the next step, which is typically a few hours but can vary based on the product's instructions. There are also specialty skim coats designed for specific purposes. For instance, some products are designed to work well on textured walls, while others are formulated to provide extra adhesion on glossy painted surfaces. If your project has unique requirements, a specialty skim coat might be worth considering. Upon the primer setting completely, you can now proceed to mix your skim coat. This step is pivotal as the consistency of the mixture can significantly impact the smoothness of the final finish. So, how do you get it right? Selecting the Right Skim CoatStart by cleaning your tools. Rinse the skim coat trowel, paintbrush, and roller covers thoroughly with warm soapy water. Not taking time to clean these items can lead to hardened skim coat or paint residues that can ruin your tools and make them less effective for future projects.

(that probably goes for easyfill/skim etc unless you have all the right gear & can use it well)

Affected areas should be treated with Weathershield Multi-Surface Fungicidal Wash. Once rinsed and allowed to dry it can be over coated with your favourite Weathershield Masonry Paint. When it comes to sanding, the right tools can make a significant difference. A pole sander is typically the tool of choice as it allows you to reach higher areas easily and provides better leverage for a smoother finish. You'll also need sandpaper. A 100 to 120 grit sandpaper works well for this task. Don't forget to wear a dust mask and safety glasses to protect yourself from dust particles. Process of Sanding Now that you have your skim coat mixed and ready, it's time to apply the first coat. The application process is simple but requires attention to detail to ensure a smooth finish.

Artex Ceiling The reward could be well worth it and there is no need to get a plaster involved. Filling an Artex Wall Start by gently running the pole sander across the wall. The goal is to smooth out any rough spots or ridges created by the trowel or drywall knife during the skim coat application.
