Painting onto new plaster
wrote:
Please can you tell me what the ratio is between paint and water
when painting onto new plaster. I understand it jusat soaks in so
there is no real point in using 'neat' emulsion.
No - only the moisture soaks in, so with neat emulsion you'll end up with a
rubbery skin which isn't properly attached to the wall. Personally I seal
the wall first with 5:1 PVA, but others prefer 50/50 emulsion & water.
