We're using dulux once coat for the colour. We have used it previously and liked that it didnt need multiple coats. No idea what sealer to use though Re: Why do you have to seal your plaster in Perth before pai 22Dec 11, 2010 9:27 am dulux sealer binder. Re: Why do you have to seal your plaster in Perth before pai 23Feb 04, 2011 10:53 am well we ended up getting the dulux sealer thingy, stinks to high heaven, but wow - the paint goes on alot nicer than straight on the plaster - thank you all so much Follow Feggle viewtopic.php?f=31&t=34992 Follow lilfeggle viewtopic.php?f=31&t=37149 Asbestosis Sux! Don't breath in Asbestos Re: Why do you have to seal your plaster in Perth before pai 24Feb 27, 2012 2:33 pm Hi all, Just about to embark on painting the interior of the house and came across this thread......Does it make a huge difference to use an oil based sealer over a water based one? Have enquired about hiring an airless paint spray to try to do the job quicker but have been advised by the hire company to use only water based paint. Am in Perth as well btw.... Cheers, Colin Re: Why do you have to seal your plaster in Perth before pai 25Dec 13, 2012 8:33 pm Our ceilings are being painted (sprayed) in the house next week, roughly 2 weeks after the plasterers finished doing the walls. It's inevitable that the over spray will carry over to the walls. Should I get in there this weekend and seal the walls 30-40cm from the ceiling down in advance? I feel like I'm damned if I do, and I'm damned if I don't. I know I'll trap moisture in that area if I seal it, but if I don't then the over spray will cause it to peel off later down the line. Re: Why do you have to seal your plaster in Perth before pai 26Dec 13, 2012 9:16 pm We didnt go seal as youre not ment/allowed to do any work to house before handover.. something about insurance etc etc. No issues here. Ive never heard of anyone sealing before ceilings were sprayed Re: Why do you have to seal your plaster in Perth before pai 28Dec 14, 2012 7:14 am I should add we did seal walls before we painted them ourselves. Ceilings don't need sealing they aren't plaster. I'd say any over spray just gets adorbed into walls & then when you seal it's fine for your paint. The walls still sucked in the sealer Re: Why do you have to seal your plaster in Perth before pai 29Dec 14, 2012 9:12 am I think I worded it badly. I was never sealing the ceilings. A mate that works for Dulux just got back to me about it, and he advised me to seal the walls before they spray the ceiling. Apparently they should be sufficiently cured already as the recommended 28 days is based on 25 degrees with 50 percent humidity. I've had commercial painters tell me to seal it also as the over spray may cause a slight discolouration and also will cause it to peel (in 5 years or so), but I was concerned with the lack of time that the walls have had to cure.

Re: Why do you have to seal your plaster in Perth before pai 34Dec 15, 2012 1:51 pm For people in Perth, where plastering (over render I assume) is popular, do you find the plaster easily dented? Would it not be better to smooth out the render (paint, smooth, paint, smooth, etc)?

It's hard. Edges for showers etc and most sharp corners have metalwork inset into them. If done expertly the white set is done before the grey is completely dry and the white set often has a fine speckle ( very smooth) in it. So I was once told by an inspector. This is a pic from our build showing the metal edging. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is what the walls look like before the whiteset plaster goes on. it's not quite the same as render I don't think but I'm not 100% sure. it certainly would be a lot easier to knock a chunk out of int than the plaster but that can chip also. Once the whiteset goes on and is dry it's pretty tough and bits can be chipped out/off. It doesnt dent.

Mind is a mm or so thick and easily dents. I know it was mainly lime and a small proportion of gypsum, but I expected a harder finish.
