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.

David, you should have typed that in capital letters! DON'T PUT PVA ON
BARE PLASTER IF YOU INTEND TO PAINT OVER IT!!!!!!!!!



So that's definitely no pva then?

Matt emulsion?
