Kitchen has been newly plastered a month ago so now looking to decorate
Wife wants Farrow and Ball (we have tried some some match ups but they were poor hence staying with F&B) so checked and their website advises mist coats of primer/undercoat
Had a local decorator round to quote (been doing it for 20+ years) and he says he never uses mist coats/diluted coats as it prevents adhesion
F&B website contradicts this :
From F&B :
FOR PLASTERBOARD, SKIM PLASTER, SHEET ROCK AND LINED WALLS:
So who's advice do i go with....the manufacturer of the product or the trademan with experience ?
Any experiences of how to achieve a nice finish considering the outlay on F&B ?
Thanks in advance....

FOR PLASTERBOARD, SKIM PLASTER, SHEET ROCK AND LINED WALLS:
- When applying over a porous surface, mix Wall & Ceiling Primer & Undercoat with up to 20% water to make a diluted coat. This will seal the surface and promote adhesion.
- Dilution rate will depend on the porosity of the surface. A test patch is recommended to determine the correct dilution rate.
