Happy new year all!
I recently purchased a wee cottage, one thing lead to another and ended up having the whole place skimmed at the beginning of November. The new plaster is now nice and dry. Following the mist coat ratio on the tin of water based emulsion I began painting. First room looks great, first mist coat applied then another (undiluted) coat a couple of days later and it's left a really good finish. Moving on to the bathroom and using the same paint and technique the paint looked patchy after mist coat, on second coat I've got a couple of small areas peeling, as pictured. Can I lightly sand these areas and try again? I don't know where I'm going wrong as first room went so well!
