i have made significant indoor plaster repairs (as i calculated it was simpler and cheaper than framing + DW) and now i need to paint it.

the question is: what should i do to prep it for the paint? is regular primer OK or should i use something else (or in addition and in which order). i have heard some emulsion is needed but i am not very familiar.

thanks

– Must be brit- there ar different products over there- but best I know a good acrylic primer /sealer ( like zinsser 123) would work fine for priming- but somewhat depends on what you intend for final finish.
