Hi, I have another question about painting onto newly plastered walls. How long do you have to wait after having a skim coat before you can start to paint?

Thanks. :money:

Soon as its dry really maybe give it an extra day just in case .

How can you tell that it's dry?

When it looks like this.

handyman.

you can paint 'still drying' plaster with dulux trade supermatt (out of bnq). Can save you a few days waiting.

If its a single skim coat, you will see the colour changing to above picture. It takes between 1 and 3 days, but longer if patches are thicker.
