How can you ___paint____ over where VASALINE has been????

[RTKangaSantaMummy]

DS has made some pots out of plaster of paris

and we used vasaline to cover the jam jar

anyway now the paint is not sticking where there is still some vasiline left.

PLease help cos they are pressies for his grandparents

We have used arcrillic paint

.

will washing up liquid work?

i think you may need to aseal the plaster with a glue/water mix.

sand it a little with sandpaper or emery board

So if I use PVA glue and water and then paint over the top that will work will it ???

Thanks

think so, but leave it to dry overnight when u use the glue/water.

have you made it work with sandpaper?

The pot is quite thin so can't afford to take much off iyswim and it is on the inside

dont sand too much, just to get vasaline off.

i dont want it to go wrong tho so maybe try the pva route instead

just to update

covered in pva glue and then painted again and it worked

Thank you

and his granny and grandpa were soooooo deffo pleased

Oddly enough, I'm going to have this problem with the wallpaper in DS2s bedroom... I assumed I'd have to repaper the whole thing.
