Can You Paint Over a Chalky Skim Coat?

There are several reasons why a skim coat can become chalky:
Incorrect Mixing - If the plaster or drywall compound is not mixed properly with the correct amount of water, it can result in a chalky texture.
Poor Surface Preparation - If the surface is not properly cleaned and primed, it can cause the skim coat to not adhere properly and result in a chalky finish.
Improper Application - If the skim coat is applied too thickly or not in a uniform manner, it can result in a chalky texture as the top layer dries faster than the bottom layer.
Improper Drying Conditions - If the temperature or humidity levels are not ideal for the drying process, it can result in a chalky texture.
Fixing a chalky skim coat requires removing the chalky layer and starting the process over again, ensuring proper mixing, surface preparation, application, ventilation, and drying conditions.
Now, if the skim coat is chalky or powdery, would the paint still adhere to it? This is one of the most prevalent traditional perspective in the construction industry. So, we're going to answer it in this new episode of Fake News in Construction.
