We did a job years ago using pro rend, it was on a hill on the coast near slapton, with the wind the thermometer read -3 I refused to do it told client to wait a few weeks, wouldn't have it blah blah. He signed a disclaimer , we did it . Still looks bang on , probably fall off in a couple of years

Do sites over there not let plaster dry properly before painting? Often wondered that with likes of DIY sos or cowboy builders etc when skim barely aet and they papering and painting. Unless I've been misinformed but I always led to believe paint flakes off if not fully dry, seen it on both insides and outsides?

ive only seen fresh paint peel when strong winds hit it mate.

It'll stay soft on the wall - a bit like damp, which indeed it is.
So it can peel under your roller if you're not careful. Happened to me once when I painted something in a hurry.
I think you can negate that by using PVA for a first coat rather than 50/50 paint and water.

The paint for new plaster is breathable so lets the moisture out without peeling.
They want to give there head a shake, anything below 3 c is bad practice.our renderers have pinned this on to stop it from freezing after being told to get it on today.
they never wanted to start.
hope this helps any of you fellasView attachment 21961
I'd rather sit it out, we put some Weber pral m on an elevation about 8 years ago the frost caught it, it crystallised and never set, the net result was scraping it all off and having to do it again. Lesson learnt, never again.

never use pva as a sealer 50/50 emulsion is best
