[yamxj]

Had a similar problem (with the house, not the wife)! Damp keeps coming back unless treated properly. I have since used a resin called "Fijamont", made by Monto. It is much better than using PVA etc and up to now the damp has not returned. Once the mortar is off, It's painted onto the blocks. It's available in all paint or hardware stores. Sorry, can't remember the name for the top coat of plaster! If you are near Caleta, speak to the staff in "Honduras" at the Montecastillo Centre, they are very helpful.

Hi tl2222,
Do you know if that stops the paint/plaster shelling off outside walls ? Cheers . . Ron

I`ve found it does help delay it but not stop it altogether. I`ve never taken it back to the blockwork however.
Peeling paint is the  bane of my existence!

With regard to Spitfire's comment about peeling paint - I'm honestly not sure. If it's only a small area and you can achieve a reasonable finish to the mortar, I think it may be worth a try.

Thanks tl2222. It`s generally all along the bottoms of the garden walls. Peeling paint/shelling plaster, as far as I know, the usual problem with desalinated water in the plaster pulling up minerals from the ground & shelling off. I think loads of people have tried a multitude to resolve, just not sure that anyone has found a satisfactory answer apart from hacking all of & sealing or tiling along the bottoms of walls. Neither of which I want the hassle of doing, if I am honest 🤣😂🤣😂
