Painting new plaster.
Hi All,
Quick question. We have a lot of of new plaster to paint and are having problems in certain areas. Normally a dilute first coat of emulsion is fine for wall priming. However in certain patches I think the plasterer has overshined the wall and nothing seems to take. Ive not come across this before, any ideas for a remedy? Thanks, Matthew |

I think some plasterers add pva to the skim coat if they know it's going to be painted |
