Does anyone have tips on how I can make this chimney look OK, WITHOUT having to remove all the paint?
As you can see, there are paint flakes and cracks. You can pull off large "chunks" in some places. In other places, it's more like scattered cracks. And in other areas, the paint is firmly and tightly adhered to the substrate.
I recall that there was previously a glued fabric on the chimney. Likely, the painter didn't do a good enough prep work before painting. Glue residues are probably left underneath, old paint layers, who knows.
I would like to find a solution to fix this without having to remove all the paint first. I understand, of course, that it's preferable, but I can't handle that job.
Could I perhaps remove the worst "chunks" and then sort of putty or use some other material to get a reasonably even surface that I can then paint? Ideally, I would like a surface that looks like masonry, rough.
Please note that I must use materials, paint, putty, etc. that can withstand high temperatures since I use a stove with this chimney!
I initially thought to repair the small hole with Casco Cement Rapid. What do you think about that?
I thought of something. Maybe the simplest thing is to attach some form of fireproof boards? Directly on top, i.e., doing nothing to this surface but just "smacking on" something on top.
How do you attach such boards by the way? Screw them on? Glue?
Or, can you hire a mason who simply builds up a new surface? And is that even possible?
If you leave it exactly as it is underneath. Or can't new mortar adhere if it looks like it does underneath?
