Default New plaster walls

And should you pva seal all romos or just bathrooms and kitchens?


No rooms at all! Never put PVA on plaster before painting; it's far
worse than not treating it at all. It seals the plaster, but makes a
nice non-stick layer which the paint will subsequently peel right off.
Use cheap diluted-down emulsion.
