Hi - not sure if this makes more sense here or in paint.
I've found some older threads, but POV's change.
have plaster walls with lots of latex paint built up.
Have been using the 1 gallon pails of premixed joint compound to smooth the nastyness of these walls away. So far so good, but its mostly been feathering cracks and divots. i recently realized that you can cut this with water a bit which has helped. I have to do a lot of sanding because I am terrible at it, but in the end, it looks great.
I have a wall that looks like they painted over wallpaper. probably years and years ago. There is enough paint on the wall I dont want to dig down to look, so I just want to level it out. this would be a pretty massive focal wall, so I was planning on just re-doing the entire thing and creating a smooth, level-ish surface.
Any suggestions for a product other than the pre-mixed all purpose (grey bucket, blue top)? I see some people recommend the green top all purpose, and some recommend the blue top plus 3.
thanks
