New plaster

[ekwat]

Just to confirm what lots of others have said. Watered down emulsion for a couple of coats ( it dries really quick ) or watered down PVA. It shouldn't take any more than a few days for the plaster to dry out and you will see when it's dry as it will lighten unevenly. It's really easy to see. If you do use PVA to seal be absolutely certain the plaster is dry as the PVA will create a barrier on wet plaster and prevent it from drying.

I think you are being a bit unfair if she wants to hoover it .. let her ... they like it, it will give here a sense of belonging, making here wait 2 years

shame on you, you are heading for a pile of trouble
so get a grip before she does a runner.
