Firstly my apologies, I'm sure this must have been raised before but have searched to no avail.
We had a conservatory built, which was finished some 7 weeks ago. The house wall and all new walls were plasterboarded (dot and dab) and then skimmed.
My questions are:
The plaster seems to be fully dried out, as it was only a skim of finishing plaster, so do you think enougth time has passed to think about sealing it prior to painting?
What do you use to seal it. Another post on a similar subject says not to use PVA. Dulux make a rediculously expensive plaster primer which I am pretty sure you are only paying for the Dulux brand. I have also seen a relatively cheap Blue Hawk (I think!) plaster sealer. Any suggestions?
Many thanks for any help you clever lot can offer.
Cheers
Nick
