    Recently built a shed out of 9 inch cavities. Rain/damp is coming through the walls and as it is going to be a while before I can get it plastered can anyone recommend a sealer I could use in the mean time. Thanks in advance Joe

    As a short term fix, you could wrap building in plastic sheeting (visqueen) and secure using battens to stop it flapping

    I used PVA on the outside for a while it also gives the wall something to grip. I seen a neighbour use thompsons water seal sure it would do the same job but not to sure if it will have an effect on the plaster sticking
