Ask your plasterer, but most will prefer to use what they are used to so the result is consistent.

Well said Roy, good advice.
If anybody does their own prep for a plasterer or any other tradesman in order to save money, or any other reason, and the job goes pear shaped, you run the risk of being blamed for any problems that may occur. Always better leaving any prep to the plasterer. Stripping wallpaper is different,, prepping a wall ready for plastering is a different kettle of fish.
