old'un Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Been there myself, only way is a coat of stain blocker or use oil based paint, it does not matter how many coats of emulsion you give it, it will just keep coming through.

You can try solvent based paint first, either undercoat or top coat if you have some handy, but if it returns, the above will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good but been unable to get it recently at local places. Ended up with some Dulux product that was meant to cover anything. Wasn’t as good.
