Working process on plaster is the same as when we paint wood. The main diffeence – wood has a neutral pH 7 while plaster has alcalic high pH.

Plaster can contain cement and lime. Bigger the ammount of cement quicker the drying time. In the process of plaster drying carbonisation occures – alcaline pH lovers and approx after 3 months becomes neutral. Therefor at least 3 months are required before painting the plaster. When painting an old plaster no wait is required.
