Hey all,
Got the plaster guy showing up tommorow. Blue board/skim coat. He says
4days til prime. Sound reasonable?


No. Depends on the primer and the local environment. Is this an April 1
post?



Not April fools at all. Why would the type of primer matter? Does the 4 days
seem to short/long? Local enviro is Mass. When I did my second floor I
waited almost 30days, simply because there were a lot of other things going
on. This is my first floor bath, anxious to get it back to working order.


I think some primers or paints might recommend 30 days .. I am sure I
have seen that advice on labels.
