How long after plaster to paint?

No. Depends on the primer and the local environment. Is this an April 1 post?

Not April fools at all. Why would the type of primer matter? Does the 4 days seem to short/long? Local enviro is Mass. When I did my second floor I waited almost 30days, simply because there were a lot of other things going on. This is my first floor bath, anxious to get it back to working order.

I think some primers or paints might recommend 30 days .. I am sure I have seen that advice on labels.

Sorry Brian ... I am jaded.

The type of primer matters because there are two basic bases: oil and water/latex.

Get yourself to a good paint store and get their recommendations.

Water based (latex) primer could be OK at this point in time.

There is some really bad information offered forth on this group, by the way.

Go to a good paint store!

And some really excellent information as well.

Latex can be applied sooner than oil based.

IMO a week after with latex, 30 days for oil based. 4 dry ventilated days might be good for latex.

Better yet is to trust your contractor or a local FULL service paint store.

ask the plaster contractor.

some years ago a friend had a home built, he waited 6 months.

it doesnt have to be painted to use the bathroom
