ᐅ Applying silicate paint over painter’s fleece?

Hello forum,
I want to paint my kitchen (new build, calcium silicate masonry with gypsum plaster inside). I have applied Erfurt M120 painter’s fleece. Is it possible to paint silicate paint over this? I know it’s not the ideal substrate since the paint needs to chemically bond with the wall, so the proper effect might not actually occur. Still, I believe silicate paint would allow better breathability than dispersion paint in this case?

Good luck, Frank

That is why a primer is necessary. However, an acrylic sealer also acts as a barrier. Ideally, the fleece should be able to be removed easily along with all the experimental work. If you choose a dispersion paint, it is better to apply two thin layers rather than one thick layer. Make sure the paint is not too viscous but contains enough pigment, which is beneficial.

Best regards, Gabriele
