Hear mixed views on it. Did a garage conversion on a new build not long ago, and got to know a few of the guys who were still building the rest of the site and they were painting damp plaster. Only 450k houses though!

I painted fresh plaster in February, turned out mint no shelling or peeling, used armstead contractors Matt, a year out of date which have been frozen and thawed a few times

I was on a budget, didn't charge for the gear either.
Would be nice to catch up, but I know you don't mix with the poor

Hand on heart.
I went for a crap once on a kier site came back to a long corridor wall to give it a final cross trowel and the painter was halfway down the wall with his mist coat.
And on another kier job same story but the plumber had a rad hung before the final trowel .

Needs to dry a little to take in the mist coat, but certainly next day. Usually corners aren't dry enough to take it properly same day.
Still amazes me that BG haven't bought out multi in white and magnolia.

I've just been painting a couple of airless plaster sample boards.
I think I'm made for this new caper look at the straight line I've managed to paint and thats after 5 pints of aspalls.

Can't count how many times the client has painted themselves and left me thinking I might as well have skimmed it with a notched trowel

Permeable paints are ok to paint with straight away with ventilation too , but worth telling normal people to wait till it’s light pink ,

Or grey if it’s dura finish or magnetic
