Last time I had some new plaster to paint, I started off with some plaster sealer stuff from B&Q. It was basically pretty watery stuff, seemed to do the job, but the problem was that it was pretty much clear, without colour. This meant, I reckon, that more of the subsequent colour coats (light colours) was required, to cover over the darker plaster uniformly.
I'd like to find a plaster sealer or equivalent that is at least white, so that the subsequent light colour (or plain white for ceiling) will not require so many coats.
Couldn't see anything obvious in screwfix, which makes me think that most tradesmen just use watered-down matt white.
What do the "plaster sealers" do that matt paint doesn't? And these claim to be ideal for new plaster, and quite cheap... anyone know anything about them:
