Im on the fence...fine on skim, risky on new deep bare plaster that has just been done in a unheated house in winter...therefore possibly containing moisture.
Who's next...........................................?
Thats exactly what I reckon.
Used vinyl lots of times on bare skim and small jobbing type work, but if I had miles of bare plaster I would'nt use vinyl.
ps Im glad u asked that question about firefox zampa.. I'm using it now
Its v good .Sponsored Links
If plaster's damp and it has to be painted, use contract but don't make the mistake of covering up immediately with chosen vinyl or kitchen/bathroom paint with the idea that it's now ok to "finish" it - because it has to be dry before applying non-contract.
If dry plaster, you can use vinyl silk/sheen/matt etc. as long as it says so on the tin/tub instructions, e.g: Dulux rich matt/silk should not be used as first coat on new plaster...(got that from Third_degree)
If your plaster is powdery, seal it with plaster sealer. If it isn't use plaster sealer or a mist coat, which ever you prefer. If your plaster hasn't dried yet, use a contract, without plaster sealer or vinyl.
Don't know.
Matey's used it on bare plaster and he said it's no prob but Third_degree put the willys up me
...... so to speak.
