    Sealing old ceiling before papering.

    The Gardz is a specialist product which once applied anything can go over it. Paint or paper. Lots of modern sealers are water based, even for water stains.

    Painting a plastered ceiling

    Doesn't have to be spot on that ratio, but the first coat has to be thin to penetrate the plaster. Its not meant to cover the surface to be solid white. The coats after the mist coat can be un thinned until your happy with how solid it looks.
