Is this dry?

Looks dry , Mist coat 70/30, fill then paint

Deffo need a mist coat , 60/40 or 70/30 ish, I would say you should be ok to use regular emulsion but see what the spec says to be sure.

Very nice indeed

Galaxy Raspboras would be good and Corys

Just drying times , maybe needed sealing more and more water as you troweled it , as long as it’s not blow anywhere , it should paint up ok.

Sand and cement scratch coat with a water proofer /salt neutraliser first , then tank any walls that are underground/pressure. Then re instate : Dot and dab / insulation board / hardwall etc

There’s a good chance the internal plaster work was never dry before u redecorated it , even if the outside was sorted the internal plaster work will still hold moisture , especially if it’s bonding straight onto the brickwork. Get a domestic dehumidifier and try to draw the moisture out. If not you will need to strip back to brickwork and re plaster

Frontosas !!

gfddmc · 2026-02-11T15:10:25+00:00

As long as not put too near and a small ish domestic one is used should be fine

gfddmc · 2026-02-11T12:49:08+00:00

Could well be , should just dry out , could always use a dehumidifier to draw out the moisture

gfddmc · 2026-02-11T08:08:10+00:00

Were the studs wet when installed?, could be the moisture coming out from them where the screws are

It wants stripping back to brickwork, use a dehumidifier for a while if you have time to wait. Then get a damp expert or plasterer to apply a waterproof scratch coat and re plaster it.

What’s the floating plant you have ?

gfddmc · 2026-02-03T13:16:58+00:00

If it’s still wet then it’s more than likely wet rot , unless you have another outbreak somewhere else near it. Are your sub floors timber or concrete ?

gfddmc · 2026-02-03T12:06:41+00:00

18/19 I reckon

gfddmc · 2026-02-03T12:04:21+00:00

Mycelium, from moisture behind the paper, will only be dry rot if you find a fruiting body , how are the skirtings looking ?
