Hi,
New ceiling has been plastered for over 2 weeks now and looks to be completely dry. I was wondering how long I should leave the ceilings to dry before painting ? Walls are not fully dry yet but they have scratch coat so they are 15mm+ but since ceiling is only skim coat (<5mm) I was thinking that 2 to 3 week drying time would be enough for the ceilings. Does that sound reasonable ?
Also, any advice on painting ceiling would be greatly appreciated. What kind of paint to use, need to water down first coat, etc, etc ?
Many thanks
