I have embedded boxes and VP pipes for internet and antenna in a lightweight concrete wall. Bought Finja Laga Vägg, seemed cost-effective as a filler. There were no limitations stated on the package, but when I finally (after the work) browsed Finja's website, I found a document that said "Newly cast concrete should not be plastered over within a month after casting."

Is this really true and if so, why?

Yes, I have. It was no problem. But what do you mean is the problem?

Aftercare
When the filler is semi-cured, it is easy to cut and shape. Scrape off any excess material as soon as the compound has hardened slightly, this saves a lot of sanding work.

Coating
Finja Waterproofing can be applied when the surface is dry, normally 1–3 hours after filling. For moisture-sensitive surface layers, follow the supplier's instructions.
 
I left a few mm margin for regular filler which will then be wallpapered. Don't see any problems with that.

But I still don't understand why I have to wait a month?

You have just misunderstood the instructions, they mean that "Finja Laga Vägg" should not be used on newly cast concrete slabs/wall elements. No problem for you to proceed with filling if a day has passed.
 
Aha, I understand now! Thank you for the answer.
