It is my understanding that for each 1mm of plaster thickness you need 24hrs drying time. I.e. 20mm plaster 20 days drying time.

It would be best to prime it with an APD type primer.

The plasterers on here will probably give more in depth details.

i believe the drying time is 28 days but it depends on a number of factors IE on plaster board wouldn't take as long try this link should explain :Pete
