MIX WITH 6 PARTS WATER AND 1 PART PVA GLUE
Buy a bottle of PVA GLUE, pour it into a bucket, fill the pva glue bottle with water 6 times and add to the glue. Mix well and apply to your wall.
I have used this method of preventing damp/ mould on our walls in Spain...it really works.
Another tip....if painting a porous wall i.e. a wall that soaks up your paint. Coat the wall with this and as it dries very quickly you can soon paint over it.
I watched a plaster doing some work in my home recently, the old wall tiles had been removed and we wanted the walls skimmed before the new tiles were put up. The apprentice /helper coated the walls with this mix before skimming them to make sure that the plaster didn’t become affected by any possible moisture in the walls.
……….my uk plasterer told me ,that it was so the bare wall would,nt soak the moisture out of the new plaster being applied therefore preventing cracks in the new plaster, Watered down pva no good for outside waterproofing, dries and cracks in the sun and looks awful after a few hot months then its hard work trying to peel it off, your better off using a recommended product from a professional supplier,
