Bubbling paint again...even after Zinsser peel stop applied

Hello all
I have had an ongoing issue with bubbling after applying primer. The wall had wallpaper on that I removed, I then sanded and cleaned the walls. I posted previously and got very helpful replies for the bubbling. I bought the zinsser peel stop clear binding primer and applied it to the wall after cleaning with suger soak but the bubbling appeared again, even in areas that I had painted over on the previous attempt that did not bubble then. I may just have to get a professional in but thought I would post on here if anyone has any further ideas as to what to do next? It may need complete replastering if it keeps happeneing. I did think about waiting to see if they will go down and painting over them but that will probably just make things worse. The photos may not be particularly helpful.

Should I paint my kitchen cabinets?
Comments (159)Hi there. Completely agree with everyone, you should paint the cupboards. I really like the colours in this picture as I think that the slightly 'greyer' off white cupboards would tie in well with your beautiful grey tiles. You wouldn't necessarily have to go so light on your worktop as in this picture. The laminate you showed in your third picture is really nice, where is it from? Currently doing my kitchen and trying to find a laminate that I like!...See MorePainting over laminate - can it be done??
Comments (28)Love the link Mrsmcee posted. That marble effect looks gorgeous - it reminded me that I bought a 90cm wide roll to make sure I didn't have to worry about extra seams lining up though. Its a bit more expensive but vs the cost of new worktops I felt it was worth it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A6OFLYK?ref_=pe_1365641_54848841 Also found the specific type of plastic paddle thingy I used - this time referred to as a 'smoother' lol. Comes with an scalpel knife which is was also essential for cutting neat edges. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Application-applying-self-adhesive-smoother-flawless/dp/B00W6XSIIK/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1458124458&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=dc+fix+butcherblock As far as colours go I think a wood effect is very forgiving and also will help warm up the space. I would probably avoid the dark marble type finishes since if you do scratch the surface the product has a white 'base' under the printed pattern which is what tends to show through on the scratch. This isn't very noticeable on the butcher-block and probably barely noticeable on white marble but I think it would be much more obvious with a dark pattern. I actually used a much cheaper sticky back vinyl to cover all the cupboards doors in a basic white. You can just about tell in the before photo I posted that they were a pale duck-egg blue which wasn't so bad but the laminate was unfortunately cracking in places. The vinyl has held everything together and made for an easy clean surface rather than painting which would have let the laminate deteriorate further. It comes in lots more colours and 10m lengths making it better value for money but was also thinner and trickier to work with. So if you wanted a flat colour for the top it's another option since there's loads of colour-ways and matt and gloss finish to choose from: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-mtr-x-610mm-or-A4-Self-Adhesive-Sticky-Back-Plastic-Sign-Vinyl-/221652279467?var=520509553716 I was very tempted to go with the matt grey but decided to play it safe with the glossy white in the end. Anyway, I'm starting to feel like a real sticky back plastic nerd now! Just wish I could be a bespoke high end kitchen nerd instead lol....See MoreAdvice on upcycling my pine bedroom furniture this weekend ;-).
Comments (18)Agree with advice above. I’ve done quite a few pieces -would not use chalk paint. I use a small black and decker detail sander (they don’t seem to last too long but are usually not expensive), then a good quality undercoat is vital (I use one made by Mythic which was recommended to me when I had a disaster with some Farrow and Ball paint which refused to dry, but am struggling to find a supplier now, so Zinnser is probably the answer)Then a satinwood - agreed it can get knocked but is a really nice finish and easily touched up. I use a brush but just because I like the finish. I used to use Graham & Green knobs (especially the crystal ones) but recently just purchased some from eBay and they looked great....See MoreBubbles formed after applying primer
Comments (5)There is a product called Peel Stop which is really good, you can buy it in Homebase. I recently was painting a wall and one wall kept crazing (it's called alligatoring) and there were also some bubbles. Some sites recommended scraping all of the paint off but I thought I would try this product as it had good reviews. I painted it all over the wall and after it dried I repainted. Unfortunately, some of the crazing came back so I re-applied and then applied primer (Rustins water based). I repainted again and this time no problems. The usual reason things like this happen is the wall is not properly prepared or, it can be when you paint a matt paint over a silk one. F&B is very matt and chalky so this probably happens a lot. Hope this helps and you get it sorted....See MoreHU-330916708
