P.S. For new plaster, use a specialised emulsion, such as Dulux Trade
Supermatt, which is specifically designed for new plaster.

Or Crown Covermatt, Macpherson's Eclipse. Designed to let any residual
moisture in the plaster escape.

Best of all is EarthBorn Claypaint. So breathable it is as if it is
not there. Ideal for new plaster.
