Lime based products are more prone to failure because they rely on their mixing and application, there are more modes of failure. Much of that can be minimised by the use of a quality hard plasterer. Gypsum is simply add water and apply. It goes off quicker so again requires someone who knows what they are doing. The benefit of gypsum based set is that it is very hard (less likely to damage) and doesn't have some of the issues with painting that can happen with lime based set. No plaster product, plasterboard or hard plaster should be used where there is constant moisture. And you can paint acrylic paint over solvent based sealer binders. Go read the Dulux website.

Thanks for answering all my trivial questions! Would you consider bathroom (daily shower routine) to be suitable for lime or gypsum white set? Is that what WA homes usually do for their bathroom painted walls (untiled areas)? Re: white set plaster or acrylic render on bathroom painted 15Jan 28, 2021 2:02 pm I have Gypsum set in my own house. The kids seem to hate using the extractor fan and at times I've walked into the bathroom to find water literally running down the walls. We have had zero problems. As I said no plaster regardless of it's type should be in a position that it is in a constantly moist situation. Basically if it is you have bigger problems. Just like plasterboard or standard white set, once it's painted it's sealed up and is good. With any hard plaster you need to let it thoroughly dry before painting. The gypsum tends to be more forgiving than the white set with regards to drying time.
