we finished our basement approx 3 years ago. 2x2 strapping and white foamboard insulation,vapor barrier, drywall and whats happening to us is that you can see the outline of the studs and screws bleeding thru.we repainted a year ago and we have the same problem again.is there a certain paint that we could use to stop this from happening?
Answer:
You can paint it with a good stain deadener but because you have very little insulation on the walls, and it is by no means continuous, you have a vapour barrier problem and that is not going to be kind to you.
