About 30 days.
The person who plastered it told me to wait a week but I wanted to start sooner lol. I guess I should at least give it a couple weeks then
The only risk is that if the concrete is uncured, the paint will not adhere as well. Plaster on an existing all may cure more quickly.
Search for "testing concrete moisture." It's a simple procedure if you want to be certain.

Ok thanks. Is it ok to rub down the wall like this weekend or next week and wait a bit to paint it?

Nope, but I think I'll have to now. Overdue a visit to Building source. Thanks.
Still willing to consider other brands as well. I sawT&Z have something special of their own on my last visit.Musical Doc wrote:adnj wrote:You will likely hear many answers but the concrete should be fully cured before painting.Musical Doc wrote:How long should I wait to rub down and paint a wall after it is plastered?

Doc, is this interior or exterior wall? Maybe ventilation and airflow (lasko) can speed this up? I personally would take chances on smaller pieces and patchwork, but a fresh full wall might be an excess of double work and materials later on.
Sometime I read about a foil test, I think it's just to tape down a piece and see if it condensates after a day. You have to wait more than that anyway, so worth a try.

It's all exterior walls, just blocked around the garage area so its totally outdoors. I just want to get it done before christmas and I just want an idea of when to do it so I can schedule my time accordingly

Wasn’t the advantage of these other premium paints compared to Sissons weather guard . Is it preparation of the surface is usually done better when people think they putting up a more expensive paint ?

Yup I'll try it saturday and see

You will have to cut and rejoin using the PVC cement.
However, I have a few sprinklers on PVC risers in the flower bed which broke recently. The break occurred on the TEE about 4" underground. The workman took some PVC glue and applied to the broken piece of pipe that remained in the TEE, ignited it to soften the broken piece and then removed with a bird beak pliers. We then fit back in the riser.
This method worked well for that type of break. Wouldn't recommend that on a line to your house but given that this was a sprinkler that's on a few minutes per week, we took the chance to repair as stated.
Any heat applied to PVC will damage it and weaken it and increase probability of leaks in the future.

Rather, I have used the Trinity Paints primer with good success. This primer has great body, large coverage and is very thick.
Usually, two coats of primer followed by two top coats are sufficient for a new wall.
The cost is also very competitive when compared to others.supercharged turbo wrote:Right now I have some exterior walls to prime and Sherwin Williams is out of stock on concrete primer until maybe next year.Any alternative concrete primer allyuh recommend to use?I'm thinking Benjamin Moore.
