How do you stop paint peeling of new plaster?

Seal it first with a mixture of water and pva wood glue ratio of 25 water 1 part glue.How do you stop paint peeling of new plaster?
New plaster should be first sealed with a coat of five parts water to one part matt emulsion or a Unibond / water mixHow do you stop paint peeling of new plaster?
You have to give it a couple of coats of watered down paint first. 1pt paint 4pt's water. I've had all the walls in my house re-plastered and this is what I was told to do.
Did you prime the plaster before painting?





Sounds like the plaster isn't dry enough yet.
New plaster must be really dry before painting with emulsion and it's best if the first coat is thinned with about 25% water, if possible use Dulux Supermatt or any other good quality matt emulsion not vinyl silk. Dulux Supermatt is a porous paint and allows the wall to breathe and any moisture still in the wall to come out.
you have to go to your local DIY store and ask for a tub of size not sure if its spelt with a s or c but any way coat your wall with that first then paint it


or buy some cheap emulsion water it down slightly then paint it on my dad works in the DIY industry lol
The moisture in the paint has been sucked away by the plaster


NEVER prime the wall with pva,alwys thin the first coat to about 25%


Taking the fat out of the paint allows it to penetrate the plaster
Paint it then hammer loads of nails in. If the nails don`t hold it down then try screws.
You paint the walls owth a primer first then a coat of regualr wall paint. The paint will often not adhere to plaster or other materials without a primer coat.
You need to thin it down first. Read the tin and it will tell you exactly the correct ratio of paint to water.
when painting fresh plaster you either need to prime it with PVA (PVA watered down) to seal it or, paint it with flat matt paint (no vinyl paint as that will peel off). Before painting, wash off any loose plaster with a damp cloth.
