Default Painting new plaster - product confusion!

It seems to emphasis "breathability" as a feature, to allow the
plaster to continue to dry. But I thought my plaster was already dry
(or will be, by the time I start to paint it). And it becomes
irrelevant once I decide on the actual colour I want for the finish
(it won't be brilliant white or magnolia) and slap that
non-breathable paint on top! So I think I'm talking myself out of
this special paint, unless someone can come up with a really good
reason to use it...


There are always products doing the same job but more
expensively. They're designed to part the customer from their
money. Ignore them.

BTW I prefer the water coat option to a **** coat. Its much quicker,

Hmm. There I was thinking I'd decided what to do, and then you give me
another option! Still, at least the product will be the same - now I just
have to work out where to put the water...
