I have something similar I am going to do today. It's where some old paint flaked off and the surface is rough in a bathroom right next to the air vent. I was going to fill it with a thin layer of something and then sand and paint. Is joint compound what I need or can I use that pink spackling?
@@de_41 It’s difficult to say without seeing it. What you’re describing sounds like something that happened in my bathroom. The vent fan in my bathroom is underpowered and doesn’t get all of the steam (from the shower) out and a lot of the steam accumulates on the ceiling. This is what likely caused the flaking in my bathroom by the vent. So I scraped away the weak material, put in new compound, sanded it and then painted over with a “bathroom specific” ceiling paint from Benjamin Moore. But… eventually I need a higher powered vent to get the steam out on the first place. Any repairs I make on this will likely need to be touched up over time as the moisture persists. Hope this helps 👍
Unfortunately, that’s the only part of this product I can’t cover. The home was just recently sold so I won’t be able to see how it performs in 1, 3 or 5+ years. But when it was fully dried after 3 coats, it felt extremely durable. When selecting a product to use, I read reviews that many people had a very clean looking shower/tub 3+ years later. Ultimately, this was to make the bathroom look modern for a few years until an actual renovation could take place. Thanks for the question.
