Hi, Can anyone give me some advice on this please? Two days ago I scraped the paint off my bathroom ceiling for a repaint. It was flaking off in places. There was absolutely no mould/damp etc just thick paint that came off with the scraper. When I took this off I was down to the old ceiling basically the plaster with a thin coating of paint. I washed it down with sugar soap etc and then let it dry out. Then I painted it it with two coats of anti mould bathroom emulsion paint, letting the first dry out etc before repainting. I've opened the windows for ventilation but obviously have to shut them at night.
When the windows are shut it starts really strongly smelling of plaster. Do you think this will go or will I have to take the paint off the ceiling and redo it with a mist coat etc?. Everything looks fine. Could anyone advise who knows about these things thank you very much.
