Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How long do I leave the plaster before I can paint it?
A: With a commonly used plaster skim finish, it is around seven to ten days…when all of the plastered area has turned a pinky peach colour. Also when you run your fingertips over it, some white powder is extracted on to your fingertips.

Q: Do I need an undercoat or primer?
A: Yes, all plaster requires a primer!
