If you diluted it then it may have had half chance of soaking in,if not it sits like a dry skin and reactivated in contact with moisture .But im no expert although a good paint shop would advise or for sure plenty sources on the net. Good luck anyhow and hope all goes well and dont forget the pics of completed works (y)

Major tip No.1

Don't get advice off professionals, then proceed to a hardware store and then take their advice.
Most of them don't know what they sell, and couldn't find their arse with either hand.

Im just trying to get advice and learn a few things, i figured that plasterers have probably seen or dealt with a variety of problems so would be best to ask for help. I am snappy with people sometimes though im sorry lol

u will fit in nicely with some on here then lol
 
I've seen that happen over here in the states where they might have skimmed the ceiling with drywall compound and then sanded it smooth, then without removing any of the dust they prime the wall / ceiling and then finish paint it. Before you know it the paint is popping off because it's only bonded to the dust between the plaster and the paint. I have no clue why there is a blue tone in your dust/ powder unless they did use "any old mix" on the primer as mentioned earlier and there happened to be a blue colorant in the primer. You might also ask a paint expert what kind of reaction could be happening.

Think danny uploaded info on here of how:sisi: basically hold finger on link or tap on link if with cursor and copy then back on forum and paste. If youtube then same tap on link n copy ,when back on forum page go to media above and paste then embed and upload. Pretty sure how i go about it. Sure danny would of explained better but im sat in garden drinking beer n eating pistachios messing about on phone :descansando:

Just a quick update. The room is coming along nicely. Taken longer than I'd have wanted, had to have some work done on the chimney for the damp and dry that out a bit but ceiling looks great now is done. Thank you everyone (most of you) for all your help.
