Thanks for this...we hired "i know a guy" to paint our condo. My fiance put up wall paper and decided to take it down after a while and a chunk of the paint came off on on multiple areas 😢. This is perfect. I'll patch up the spots this weekend (so much for relaxing).
perfect!!! I did the same thing.. tried to find everything to seal and stop the peeling area.. different primers, etc... which just caused the area to get larger and larger.. this seals down the paint to the wall.. and allows you to get a good repair.
I have an apartment. I used heavy duty command hooks to put curtains. My dog jumped and her nail caught on the curtains which ripped them off the wall. This caused two big patches of paint to come off with it peeling. In my lease it says I can’t do repairs myself but Im afraid they’ll over charge me for repairs. My deposit was 250 and was not refundable so I wasn’t sure exactly how to go about repairs. I’d rather do the repairs myself if it will cost less.
Great video and great explanation. I have the same situation, where I am trying to prepare some rooms for painting and it is never-ending, with scrapping the loose paint off the walls, that has blistered or cracked, similar to yours, which looks like a thick patch of paint that has failed. The skill is to know when to stop the scrapping, as it becomes an obsessive compulsion to keep scrapping, so much that you cannot help yourself. I would appreciate some guidance on when to stop the scrapping, then start the sealing of the holes with glue, PVA, or SBR (my preference) sealer. Kindest regards and thanks.
what is the white/grey stuff under the paint? it has some dark sparkly things in it too. My paint is coming off worse than this and I'm not sure if I need to replaster my walls, it looks like there is white stuff under the paint when is peels off and its stuck to the paint, not sure if the plaster is coming off the walls with the paint or not.
I could be wrong, but sounds like a Lathe and Plaster wall, the dark sparkly things are sort of a fine mineral aggregate in the plaster. I don't currently yet have videos dealing with Lathe and Plaster issues, but if you search "repairing Lathe and Plaster" you might find something similar to your walls issue and a solution. Hopefully that helps.
You need to treat the whole wall like it’s peeling because it will. That’s a good repair on one spot if you don’t want to do the work, but it will keep happening until you fix the source.
This is very true. Often it's a widespread adhesion failure between underlying paint surfaces, usually due to age or moisture, and if peeling manifests in one spot, good chance if a person starts poking and scraping anywhere else in the room, it'll start peeling there too. This video is just showing a DIY quick fix. Ideally, the entire wall or room should be scraped, then bonding primer, skim coat with all-purpose, sand, drywall sealer, and finish with good quality paint
I agree with you. At the moment, I'm going through such a situation. I engaged a painter who produced his paints and painted the walls I needed for a mural. He primed the walls with water sealant, and the walls were also screeded, then the water sealant applied again before he painted the wall with his Vinyl Matt paint. I started my artwork, and noticed that there were bubbles on the wall. In fact, when they peeled, they peeled all the way to the screeded wall, proof that the paint didn't bind to the wall. I'm in the middle of the project and in need of a solution for preserving the masterpieces on the wall. I was told to seal the whole work with a clear coat when I'm done. But I don't know how far that can go, and I sincerely don't want to scrap off the whole wall, which stretches over 50 meters. Please what do you advice?
Sorry couldn't respond faster, sorry to hear about this. A possible cause is sometimes if there's any dust on the wall or plaster or screed, the paint will not bond on the dusty spots. This manifests as bubbles. I wonder if that could be the cause? Usually the majority of the wall bonds fine, just random small spots where there was some dust doesn't bond, and just those spots need fixed. I would suggest scraping some areas where it is not bubbling to test the overall bond of the paint.
I had a wall in my house with no peeling issues. Then re-painted and within a month it started peeling in different spots. There's no water lines in that area of the house to saying its inner moister etc. I can't figure out what's the cause. It never happened before so do I need to treat the whole wall?
@@savi3sounds you said you were using latex paint. If previous was water-based or something else, it will peel. As even primer will not do anything in that case, it will only create better canvas for "peeling". When you paint, previous paint moistens up, latex is like a coat that dries up into canvas. If whatever underneath the canvas is wet and can't dry (and it can't dry beneath non-breathable latex), it will cause peeling, bubbles etc. Dirty, oily surfaces do that also.
Great video! Hey how would u fix peeling paint on a wall caused by tape that was used for posters? The damage isn't like in the video, the tape just sort of peeled off a layer of paint. Can I just paint over that?
Thanks. If the surrounding paint is still well adhered, just smooth in the missing paint area with some drywall compound or spackle, sand it flat and repaint
My wall has a crack. The top part is solid. But the bottom part has about a 14inch long by 6 inch wide loosen paint. It’s all together and it moves if I press with my hand. Do I remove it all and then mud it ?
That's a common thing, use a razor and score a perimeter around the entire area, an inch or so past, then peel it all way. The score line helps stop the bubble from progressing as you peel it. Then mud it flat flat. As for the crack, if it isn't a surface crack, id advise to tape it then mud, otherwise the issue might come back later.
Interior Vids do you recommend buying a box of mud or those little pre mixed ones. I might have to drill some the drywall to enforce it. It seems like it’s were the two drywall pieces meet at the stud. If that make sense. Sorry I’m bad with terms. Thanks for the help. I do tile work . I been watching a bit of videos but none have the issue that I have as big as it seems. The paint feels think too. I’ll get to it
@@markgonzalez8828 sometimes just buying a whole box is the best way, especially if you think you might use more in the next year, the little containers and tubs can be a rip off for the little amount in them, at least in my area. It's hard to say really.
It can. But there's so many variables with peeling paint, it's hard to say for sure without seeing the problem area and examining the paint integrity of the surrounding wall.
I happen to have ripped off the wall of my rented house and my mom doesn’t know about it but I din’t live in the u.s, whats the paste you used to seal it before sanding?
@@shaunehemphill3259 I agree, priming first helps decrease bubbles forming in the compound. Generally, the thicker the compound is applied, the greater the tendancy to bubble is; for example, if I were to apply an inch thick layer of compound over a painted surface, the bubbles would look like Swiss cheese. However on small patches that just need filled to the height of the surrounding paint, and dings and dents, thin compound layers, bubbling typically isn't an issue I've experienced
@@Interior_Works hi sir, i just bought new paint for my bedroom 2 days ago. When i try to paint, why is the new paint peeling off, it does not stick to the wall? I have no experience at all and this is my first time painting
@@Levi_Ackerman25 The previous paint could be oil based paint, modern water based paint such as latex or acrylic will not bond to oil based paint. To test if it's oil based, take acetone or nail polish remover, dab some on a rag, and scrub the wall, if nothing happens then it's oil based, if the paint rubs off then it's water based. If it's oil based you should wash the wall with TSP detergent, sand the wall to scruff it up, then do bonding primer before painting If it's water based, it becomes more curious as to why it's not bonding, but following the same steps above will solve the problem. Unfortunately, first you will have to scrape off the paint that is peeling.
You'd likely have to use a paint scraper tool and remove all the loose paint, then skim coat with drywall compound any surface defects, sand, and then prime. It's a lot of work, but often it's the only way.
@@Interior_Works thank you for your reply I started scraping the wall after watching this video. The walls are plaster, and riddles with impressions, do you recommend a product to fill in with?
I've never had a problem using all-purpose drywall compound over top old plaster, it has glue in it to adhere well, bit still sands easily. Any Brand will work, the ingredients are mostly the same between brands. Just dust the walls well before applying the compound.
The subject of this video was primarily focused to showing a novel technique to stop the progression of peeling paint, I ended the video when the primary subject was complete. I have other videos dedicated to the full process of patching and sanding.
The paint did not stick because it was applied to oil paint, dust, dirt or grease..the glue is going onto the exact same surface and just like the paint, it will eventually peel..you need to treat the surface first..

If you can do it in a seamless way, go for it. If not, fixing damage of DIY will be more costly and time-consuming.

So glad I didn't waste a bunch of time watching those long videos. Thanks time is $$$$
Thanks good tip!
I never heard of glue being used in this process before
thats crazy i was just using this method because it just made sense
What topping compound did u use?
I found that a GOOD primer works just as well as glue with less uncertainty about paining later

I would just spot prime, then do any drywall patching, sanding, then prime again.

I happen to have ripped off the wall of my rented house and my mom doesn’t know about it but I din’t live in the u.s, whats the paste you used to seal it before sanding?
All-purpose drywall compound, or spackling paste will also work.
@@Interior_Works thank you idhdgdgdggdf
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂he glued that shid back down lol
So do I use joint compound or spackle?
Either one, spackle is a better quality product as it's more acrylic based and shrinks less as it dries, and is sold in smaller containers
After the glue what did use
I used a drywall plastering compound overtop after the glue. Any type of wall plaster or spackle will work.
Drywall Vids I thought you needed to prime the drywall first because putting the water based compound on first will cause bubbling on your drywall?
@@shaunehemphill3259 I agree, priming first helps decrease bubbles forming in the compound.

Do you need to prime it after it dries before you paint it?
Depends on what paint you're using, for patches I always use a paint & primer in one, to save time.
