(paint) is a white fluffy surface deposit that is caused by salts in the plaster being drawn to the surface. The moisture evaporates and the efflorescence appears. Dry brushing will remove it. (Do not wash with water, as this will aggravate the problem). For the first coat, if it is a new surface use latex, if an old surface use latex or alkali-resiting paint.
