Very good for fresh plaster

Stuart · Answer

For fresh plaster, leave it at least 48 hours to dry and then water down emulsion paint to approximately 30% water. Put on 2 coats leaving it to dry throughly between coats. The finish paint can then be applied.

Tim · Answer

You need a kist coat. Dilute the matt with water. Get the mix a little runny and apply first coat. Wait till dry before painting with matt/emulsion

Their is a fresh on plaster paint available or you can buy a cheap emulsion and add some water to it for a mist coat .

Stuart · Answer

i would either use watered down emulsion,or water down pva to add a background before painting,paint will just sink into new plaster/saying that some paint like dulux one coat is good which i have used myself before
