Those morons came in with their wonderful experiance and the great product of SW's CHB (sh!t paint) and now there's exactly what I was afraid of. Now the builder is pointing their finger at me, and the painters has already f'd it up. Today I get a call from the builder, "the painter sprayed SW 200 (over priced sh!t paint) and it's still there and I'm not signing off on payment, and you can't start the next house till this is figured out!"

Those of you who are painters/tapers, do you have any experience in this?

The ceilings are flat, there is no humps. I took a peice of trim 6' and put it up on the ceiling to show her. You can only see it in one room, the "window room" all it looks like from an elevated level is shadowing where my mud was.

I believe it's from not using a "PVA sealer"

What do you think?
all comments, questions and smart ass remarks are welcome! Thank you
