    To prime or not to prime, that is the question.

    If in doubt prime it has always been my way but how many would prime Moisture Resistant plasterboards ? Now cost of primer isnt an issue but if you weigh up the time it takes to prime and drying time then that is the cost I dont like. So how many prime plasterboards, MR or normal ?
