Post-plastering problems

Actually Keystone said that a full plaster from bare brick/blockwork to finish takes six weeks to dry out properly and that it will almost certainly crack if you try to accelerate the drying process by applying heat of some description.Keystone mentioned a week or so ago that fresh plaster should be left to dry out fully for six weeks before it is painted. If it isn't allowed to dry out for that period, it will eventually crack.

Actually Keystone said that about a skim but poster you have quoted has misquoted Keystone. Its 24 hours normal 48 max for a skim. Skim direct over artex is asking for trouble IMO and it should be overboarded first.Depends on whether it's a skim or not. When a wall or ceiling has been skimmed you don't need to wait 6 weeks. Artex will have been skimmed
