#27, Please help: trouble with glaze over plaster

If anyone can help - two problems: (1) what do I need to seal my vp with before I use a glaze over it; what is better, water or oil glaze; is the problem that I am attempting to layer an oil glaze over still-damp plaster; should I trowel it before applying the glaze; FYI - I am mixing my own glaze/no premixed products, please; and (2) how about layering fine or coarser vp/marmorino-do I let the first layer dry completely, I assume, before applying the second; and do I then sand back the second coat?

By the way, do I then need to apply a sealer/fixative to (1) or (2)?

Thank you!
