Daz Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 And I think you'll still find that the instructions say that the 1st coat should be watered down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 No it's designed to let the wall breath to let the plaster dry out fully. If a wall was plastered with backing plaster and then skimmed it will take several weeks for all the plaster to fully dry, that's when you'd use this paint. Once the skim is dry (after a few days) you could paint it with this paint. It's a similar paint to Dulux Supermatt or the B&Q Fortress paint I mentioned earlier. http://www.duluxdecoratorcentre.co.uk/web/pdf/datasheets/410.pdf Although I think these products may do what you want - Dulux Sealer for Plaster 2.5ltr at wilko.com or Plasterboard Sealer 6L - Plastering Tapes & Adhesives - Plastering -Building Materials - Wickes or B&Q Plaster Sealer Clear 2.5L, 0000003220726 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Now i'm even more confused, how does the plaster still breathe when you put your coloured top coat on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Just leave it plaster coloured and move house I'm actually considering that approach. It seems the simplest answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'm just going to pay someone to paint it instead! Fecking hate decorating with a passion anyway, so may as well get someone to do all the woodwork as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
