It really depends if the wall is just painted with emulsion then pva should be fine although sometimes I've found the paint can peel and it goes like chewing gum witch is a pain in the arse. If the surface is really smooth Then your better getting a tub of thistle bondit . It will set you back prob about £50 for the tub then skim the wall
I got told to make a key with ur claw hammer and put indentations in the wall. Then pva as normal. This was all before blue grit or thistle bond it of course. Hope that helps
That's expensive i only used to pay £20 for 10LGet some Feb blue grit from toolstation £16 tub not bad and it's a lot cheaper then thistle bond it.

Yes, you need colours and grit to look professionalPva is for diy guys
I always end up scraping distemper , been meaning to use stabiliser but never have yetPva is still a great product except when there has been paste left on from the paper removal which betakontakt and micro to an extent dont seem to react with. IMO ( registered trademark!)
Whwt did you use on that distemper job @johniosaif in the end? I recommended betekontakt neat straight on but others may have said stabalising solution first then maybe pva or a gritted product?

Only had distemper a few times in wee areas. Just let them set a bit then coat them again
