TEXTURE Tips!! Create a Knockdown Texture FAST...
What happens here
Once the textured plaster is completely dry, it's essential to prime the wall. The texture mud is very porous, and without priming, the paint will not bond or adhere properly, resulting in a really inconsistent finish. Water-based primers, such as PVA primer (which is budget-friendly), or a multi-surface primer (more expensive but versatile), are suitable options. While one could use a cheaper paint as a primer, it would require a significant amount due to the porosity. The goal is to find a primer that provides good bond and seal. After priming, the wall can be painted with the desired topcoat.
Goal: After the textured plaster has dried, the wall must be primed to ensure proper paint adhesion and a consistent final finish, followed by the chosen paint application.
