How long have you been plastering?
About 30 years.Started mixing browning in a bath in site work,mixing finish in a bucket with a stick and posser.Helped with boarding,got decent at it.Started trowelling up walls for bloke I worked for.Carried in from there,got a nvq from a night course at college.A lad had someone let him down,for this job,so I said I would help him out It's a garage conversion no idea why he boarded it ,in moisture boards.Was hearing mixed messages on whether to use PVA,SBR,grit before skimming,so am asking on here.Thanks is that enough info

I guess you've never read the specs on the back of a bag of multi then?

You can but have to PVA it first.
Pointless using moisture board if it's getting plastered, defeats the point.

I've always found that board finish behaves better on moisture boards than multi does.
Sticks better and dries harder.
Adjust timings.

Should be pretreated with (BG head) Thistle Bond-it for adhesion. Pretty pointless skimming onto MR board as you are introducing gypsum to a moisture resistant material. I’ve seen a lot of failures, mainly above the shower due to the steam. Another thing to consider is the weight of the tiles which can pull the plaster away from the boards.
