Emulsion wrinkled after applied to sealant on new plaster wall
Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.49 PM
I applied sealant to a new plaster wall. When I then applied emulsion, this "wrinkled"> The plaster and sealant had both fully dried. Why did the emulsion wrinkle?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Should of just used a mist coat 50/50 water and emulsion, this is a cheaper option and allows the plaster to breath
Also If you used a oil based sealant this would not allow the plaster to breath causing the water based paint to react.

Depends on what sealant and paint you have used, different brands mixed can sometimes cause a reaction
