How Long Should I Wait Between Coats Of Paint On Fresh Plaster?

Follow the drying time specified on the paint can, as it can vary between different products. In general, waiting for 2-4 hours between coats is recommended. However, high humidity or cooler temperatures may extend the drying time.

Do I Need To Sand Fresh Plaster Before Painting?

It is not usually necessary to sand fresh plaster before painting unless there are rough patches or imperfections that need to be smoothed out. In such cases, use fine-grit sandpaper to gently sand the surface and remove any uneven areas.

Can I Use A Roller Or Brush To Paint Fresh Plaster?

Both rollers and brushes can be used to paint fresh plaster. Rollers are more efficient for larger areas, while brushes are suitable for detailed work and cutting in around edges and corners. Choose the appropriate tools based on your project's requirements.

How Should I Clean My Painting Tools After Painting Fresh Plaster?

If you used water-based paint, clean your tools with warm, soapy water immediately after use. For oil-based paints, use an appropriate solvent or paint thinner. Properly cleaning your tools will ensure their longevity and maintain their effectiveness.

Can I Use Emulsion Paint On Fresh Plaster?

Yes, emulsion paint is commonly used on fresh plaster. It is a water-based paint that dries quickly and provides a smooth, matte finish. Just make sure to follow the recommended drying times and apply the necessary coats for optimal results.

Ivan and his team did a great job of rendering over my dirty old popcorn ceiling. They were supposed to come back & finish the job after I got sick & had already paid. They never came back & Ivan never returned my phone calls. They owe me at least $400.

I strongly recommend this business. They undertook a small but complex plastering job as part of a major renovation. Finished inside two days, as promised, and left with the job ready for painting. They also removed all unused materials and rubbish the next day. Excellent work!
