Make Sure the Plaster Is Completely Dry. Do Not Apply the Mist Coat to Plaster That Is Still Wet, as This Can Damage the Plaster. It Usually Takes Plaster...
How soon can you mist coat new plaster?
The mist coat is very runny so whenever you spot drips or streaks, paint over them quickly to prevent them from drying and ruining your perfect finish. Wait 24 hours for your mist coat to dry before you apply the topcoat.
What happens if you don't mist coat fresh plaster?
Top tip: If you don't let the plaster dry and apply emulsion paint to wet plaster, it's likely to crack and peel off. Painting new plaster that's completely dry can also leave you with uneven brush strokes. So, the next course of action is to create your own mist coat paint.
