| Is there a difference between drywall primer and plaster primer? I've got extra BM plaster primer and I have a new drywall wall that needs priming. Should I use my leftover plaster primer on the drywall? |

| What is the exact product?Probably,yes, it will actually tell you this on the side of the can. Read the label |

| probably, christophern, it didn't tell me on the side of the can. That's why I came here and asked. Stupid move on my part, eh? |

| No need for the smart remark. If it is a quality primer it will tell you what it is made to prime. If you got it at HD or Lowes, I cannot help you |

| If it's primer for REAL plaster, it's usually tolerant of plasters' higher ph. It should be fine on sheetrock though. What exact BM primer-series is it? Faron |

| The label doesn't tell you? Hmmm. Very suspect. There should be no problem using a plaster primer on drywall, it's just the reverse that might not be OK. I'd still like to see that label though. |
