Drywall Vapor Retarding Primer in basement
Hello, I'm finishing the basement paying attention to Joe L's detail: http://www.buildingscience.com/documents/digests/bsd-103-understanding-b...
My drywall contractor suggested vapor retarding primer, before he textures, as this is his standard practice.
Question: should we forego the primer and use only the texture and then latex paint?
thank you

Frank,
The vapor-retarding primer won't make much of a difference either way, so if your drywall contractor wants to use it, that's OK.
It would also be perfectly OK to use any old (ordinary) primer.
