Paint on it after it fades. Once its plastered it will look a deep pink
colour. When it fades to a lighter shade of pink you know its dried. It wont
all dry at the same rate some bits will still be wet quite a while after
the rest of its dried. The first coat of paint (Whatever colour u are going
to finally paint with) should be mixed with water (asuming your using
emulsion) about 50 /50 as a base coat. It goes everywhere but gives a fab
base. If you dont do this it will streak
Good luck
