Hello everyone,
I need your advice!
We are building a prefabricated house and doing the painting work ourselves. (We already know that was a mistake - why? We only just realized that we have Q2 spackling! We were not told during the sampling that Q2 is not paint-ready (but that is another matter and also our own fault).
I need your advice on our spackling work - contractually, Q2 is specified - I now know the definition of Q2 inside and out - we are satisfied with the large areas. However, we have problems in the corners and screw attachments.
We are not happy with the company’s result and are now at a point where we have to decide between the company’s offer (2 more hours of rework + 200 Euro credit) or having an expert appraisal done.
First question: In Q2, do screws and staples need to be spackled twice?
Second question: We actually have a problem in all corners and edges where there are holes or the mesh is showing - meaning it was sanded down so far that you can see the mesh again and these spots are also extremely rough and full of holes - I have attached some pictures because I can hardly describe it.
We are aware that Q2 is not paint-ready - but we just don’t think the work has been done cleanly here -
What do you think?
Many thanks
