Dulux Plaster Sealer

[simps100]

Hey

Does anyone know if the Dulux Plaster Sealer has been discontinued?

I’m having some plastering done soon and was planning to get some of this to seal the plaster before painting - I know I can make my own mist coat but I’ve always found this ready made Dulux stuff easier to work with and less messy in the past but I don’t seem to be able to find it anywhere!

If it has been discontinued does anyone have any recommendations for ready made mist coats / sealers which will do a similar job and not be as messy as mixing up my own mist coat?

Cheers
Marc

Messy? A mist coat is just slightly thinned paint.
You can buy Fortress Trade plaster paint from screwfix for about £28 for ten litres. This will probably be similar to the dulux stuff you used.
Personally I just use the Leyland trade Matt from screwfix mixed with about 20% water. 2 x 10lt is £28

Maybe I mixed it wrong but I did create abit of a mess when I last tried a mist coat - thihk I made it too watered down not helped that it was a ceiling too!

Will look at this thank you - I assume I can just paint that onto the bare plaster let this dry and then apply my top final coats?

Yes.
Get all your sanding and filling done first though.
Shop around, prices seem to vary, but a little seems to cover a reasonable area.
