Misc painters: Is this good or bad for prepping?
Upon prepping out living room to paint, my wife and I had gone and filled nail holes and imperfections in the existing paint along with the usual TSP washing.
Next, we starting to go around to sand down the patching when the old paint started peeling around the areas. We could not simply sand the paint edges to blend them as the paint was peeling like a sunburned skin. Big sheets were able to be pulled off and once we started, we had to do the rest the same way. Has this ever happened to any of you and did you continue the whole way through or is there another way to go?

It's not supposed to do that, I'd consider replacing your drywall if you don't want to just buy a new house.

i don't feel like latex paint should be peeling like that unless it was sprayed on obscenely thick or there was some chemical reaction between the previous coat of paint and that one somehow
maybe it was sprayed over oil based paint and they reacted? no clue, but i'm not a painter

Just kinda weird that it happened like that.It's not supposed to do that, I'd consider replacing your drywall if you don't want to just buy a new house.

Pretty sure that means it's lead based paint
Hope you were wearing gloves and a respirator
