Drywall – Will drywall mud stick to shellac-based primer

drywallprimer

We are preparing to prime interior walls using a shellac-based primer, followed with a setting compound mud. Will the mud stick adequately to the shellac-based product or do we need to use another type of primer over the shellac primer?

Best Answer

Yes. This fine plastering expert actually recommends it:

If the surface is new, eliminate any possibility of coating failure by priming the surface in an oil primer, B-I-N SHELLAC BASE is preferred.
