I did something unusual for me. . . . Actually read the paint can
before priming my newly installed drywall. It says I should wait 30
days for the wall to cure. I've never done that and never had a
problem. I've always just waited for the shade of moisture to
disappear from the mud and then painted. Never have had a problem
with wear or cohesion. What am I missing?

I've seen standard 30 day cure advice for new plaster and masonry. Is
this a latex primer
specifically for new drywall? Oil base? Brand?


PVA latex drywall primer from Ace Hardware
