I wouldn't normally put a paint deal on here however this paint gets excellent reviews equaling or bettering the top brands costing much more.
Offer is 2 for £28 giving you a £10 saving on 20l's of paint. Ideal for large newly plastered walls. No mist cost needed and provides a brilliant white or magnolia final finish as well.

I have used this paint recently on bare plaster and it is great to put on and a good finish.

Not worth it. Bought two tubs when hallway and front room were plastered. Unless you go over the paint the check for clumps it dries like it because it's chalky paint. When ours dried you could see lines in the paint where it wasn't smoothed out enough even though I went over it gently enough. We had to sand the lumps out before painting. Just had our hallway ceiling done and was told to just buy a cheap watery matt white as it soaks into the plaster, and is £10 for 10L at Screwfix. Used that and the finish is much better. Wouldn't waste money on the plaster paint again, just got for the cheap watery stuff and save yourself time spreading the plaster paint thinly

Your the first person I've heard of to have this problem. Dusty walls from the plaster could cause this issue.
The paint is fairly thick which is not the norm for painting bare plaster however it has been formulated for this purpose and seems to adhere well to the wall. I was very skeptical about this paint and was going for a more watery mist coat cheapie brand but was proved wrong. There are also plenty of tradesmen's reviews that seem to back up the paints promise with a good second coat finish as well.
The paint can also be watered down if necessary but not many people do this. Probably due to paint flicking everywhere from the roller.
Working out at £14 for 10l I think it was money well spent.

Maybe it was a bad batch or you did something wrong, everyone else seems to think its fine, as do the reviews on Wickes!

Does anyone know if it's worth buying this to paint plasterboard?

The main point of this paint is to be able to paint over new plaster that may be surface dry, but may not be fully dry beyond the surface. The paint allows the plaster to carry on drying properly after application and allowing the tradesman to move onto other jobs. The sacrifice is durability compared to something like a vinyl matt. You can use it on plasterboard or any other substrate that takes a vinyl matt, but the maintenance cycle is reduced.
