This is DEFINITELY one of those subjects that if you ask 10 different people, you will most likely receive 10 different opinions. Many plasterers would most likely tell you to wait 3-7 days prior to painting new plaster. Not to be confused with joint compound or spackle, which can usually be prepared and primed within 24 hours, plastering requires a longer wait time to truly make sure all the moisture that is used in the plastering process has totally gone away prior to doing anything to its surface to get it ready for paint.
When you are having a surface plastered, it is important to wait for the plaster to cure prior to doing anything to its surface to get ready for painting. In fact, this particular item is a more expanded version of waiting for caulk or primer to dry prior to painting it. I always venture to say, as much as the paint manufacturers may not want to hear this, that surface preparation is even more important than the finish paint you will be using for your project itself.Īlthough surface preparation certainly encompasses a wide variety of tasks which are super important for your paint job to come out the way you want it, there is also a task with one aspect of painting that is not something someone actually “does” at all. These can include filling, scraping, sanding, caulking, priming, and other actions that all help your paint job either last longer or look better. There are many facets to surface preparation. If you have ever done or looked into doing any type of painting project around your home (whether on the inside or the outside), the chances are that you have heard the warning that surface preparation is the key to a successful paint job – both from a structural standpoint and a beauty standpoint!
