I'm going to finish up the last room in the basement. I think there is lime paint on the walls now.
My idea is to apply a layer of plaster on all the walls to make them smooth and achieve the same surface everywhere.
But is it possible to plaster directly onto lime paint?
Maybe there's a primer that can be applied first?
Because if everything has to be sanded off, it no longer seems like an option.
In some places, the current plaster has crumbled, and I've removed everything that's loose. The plan is to use mortar on these spots. And then apply a layer of plaster.
What do you think?

Blowing on lime paint probably works fine, but you get really dizzy eventually. 
More seriously, I actually think it would be quite bad to plaster on lime paint. But I haven't tried it, just a feeling based on how a surface painted with lime paint feels.

No, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be lime paint, but silicate or something. I will go to the store tomorrow so they can take a look at it.
And if they can't solve it, then I'll send it down to Akzo Nobel. Then they can do an analysis on it

It's like scooping around with marshmallow fluff compared to regular use. Good luck!

Okay! Would you like to give feedback on perceived differences later on? I've never used Ardex 828...berne88 said:
A small warning, though, gypsum plaster is not recommended where there is incoming moisture.
Considering the existing plaster release, it's unfortunately quite likely that you have it.
Basements are a bit tricky, there are few shortcuts to take.

That's very true; I have just done drainage, but I still believe there is a bit of moisture anyway. I think it's impossible to get rid of it all. But I contacted Weber about my question, and there are tips about Weber 109 and Weber 148, which should allow plastering over the old paint, so that's what it will be. I'm still waiting on prices from different suppliers.stoif said:
Many opinions now
but I think I have found a winning concept.I read that 109 should be applied in a maximum of 3mm thickness, hmmmm how easy is that? :S it seems incredibly complicated this,
I'm almost considering buying house fix and just patching up what's bad, and painting the damn thing.
