| Hello,
Hoping you can help me. I tried to search this forum but could not find a definitive answer. We have had some substantial plaster repairs completed in our home, and I want to make sure I use the correct primer on our fresh, new plaster walls. Our plasterer recommended and alkyd-resistant primer. Would Zinsser Odorless Oil Primer meet these requirements? How about Zinsser BIN? Thanks so much for your assistance!!! |

| real plaster |

| Depending on the ph-level/mix of that plaster, usually waiting a month or more is wise. It takes a while b4 it's ready to prime. Depending on final topcoat color... Faron |

| Not oil. Veneer systems (Blueboard + 1 or 2 coats of veneer) claim to be paintable in less than a week. Three-coat gypsum plaster over "lath" needs four weeks. Real lime/horsehair plaster needs 90 days to cure enough before you should dream of painting it. Beyond those calendars, feel it; if it is at all cool and clammy, it isn't ready for paint; that goes for drywall mud, too. Casey |

| Hello, just closing the loop here for the sake of people searching for a clear answer in the future. According to another paint forum, Sherwin Williams Loxon is the best primer to use for "new" real plaster. |

| better make sure to remove and wipe off any dust after sanding, or nothing will stick learned that one the hard way |
