plaster falling off after painting

[houstonwehaveaproblem]

Ok so we started painting the walls we have just had replastered. Some of the plaster has started to blow.

Did we not leave it long enough before painitng? Three days?

What should i do?

Three days Ideally 6 weeks
I would hold fire for awhile and see what happens with the rest of the wall.
Is it the plaster that is blowing or the paint that is blistering?

Blimey i think we might have been over keen with getting on with the painting. Im gonna leave what i have done for now and give it some time before picking off whats blown. Its not a massive amount, just around the fireplace opening.

Was it pale pink? If so it's simply bad prep by the plasterer.

Yeah was def a pale looking pink colour. The actual part that was plastered was the edging around the opening of our fireplace but the plasterer put more on over existing sound wall around the outside of the opening if that makes sense?

Sorry not the best pic.

I have picked back the flaky plaster as you can see in the photo

Cant see the photo, but I have had the ceilings in two bedrooms reskimmed, one over the old plaster, one overboarded first. Both where painted 24hours after the plaster went up, after a day with fans on it, 90% pink but still brown in the corners, mist coat, top coat, re rolled in thin areas.

Not ideal, but it was fine.

Not a plaster expert, but it sounds like there is more to it than painting it too soon. 6 weeks might be right for 'conventional plaster' but seems long for reskim or going over plasterboard.

What work was actually done, what what the substright.
