Orange peel effect on my wall paint

Chuffer690

Hi everyone,
Here is a question for any decorator, ceiling was plastered (skim) 2 weeks ago to cover old artex, when dry, it was painted with Leyland super leytex matt emulsion (specially for new plaster even if not dry!!), the walls were dark green so covered them with the same paint just to hide it, one coat.
Next day painted new light colour on walls, next day second coat, noticed that paint was air bubbling, it dried like that. all walls in that room now need sanding back & doing again, the walls in other rooms that did not have any plastering done have not done this !!!!! was it moisture from the plastering still in the air ?

I am confused so is client.

Cheers:(

Possibly moisture from the plastering still in the plaster, ie not fully dried, ?? How long did you give it to dry?

Also, on new plaster it is advised to use either a very thin matt emulsion or a thinned down one, it has to get into the paster, not sit on the surface otherwise it will shed at some point. It may well have lost it's grip and moved while it was drying on the surface, hence the orange peel effect.

That should give you similar answers I think though I haven't read it.
