emulsioned walls

[David - Tradetiler]

I never thought of a steamer to think of the times I have sanded it off too

I would think it would be quite unlikley it would bring the plaster off in a house under 40 years old. Modern plaser is normaly pretty OK. After all it is usually used to steam wallpaper off plaster with no harm

I should probably have mention try a small sample area first

The heat off a steam stripper can cause skim coats to pop if left on too long........

This wouldn't have anything to do with the heat and moisture penetrating the plaster and activating the PVA sealant would it?.........not that old chestnut again............
