Hello!!! I have used white Crown paint on newly plastered walls. (I have cleaned the walls with sugar soap first and left them to dry) A few hours later yellow stains have appeared and they stink.
Any idea? HELP!!!!

What type of crown paint?..gloss matt silk satin?
 
is this house more than 60 years old?

what was on the walls before you painted them?

edited - my mistake, these are newly plastered, so no old surfaces, right?

That's correct, the walls were plastered 4 weeks ago. The yellow stains appear in patches at random. (I had the same problem upstairs where the walls are about 60 year old but I though I didn't clean them properly and I have scraped the paint off now. Haven't tried to paint them again yet)
 
My guess is that the walls were not properly dry

Try a thin coat of undercoat over them...or just a patch to start with and se eif that works when you put emulsion back over it
 
Can I put it on top of the smelly emulsion or do I have to scrape everything off, you think?
 
Leave the wall to dry out a bit longer..

It mught be worth getting a damp metes they are pretty cheap ans will tell u if the wall is still damp
