Guys looking for a bit of advice.
What is your best remedy for high suction walls ( Lath & plaster ) before you apply multi finish. Never really used a suction control primer before & would that be adequate anyhow?

Mix some SBR through your pva will help

Thanks mate. I detest high suction walls. Do you use any other suction control primer other than PVA. eg Blue grit?

Blue grit doesn’t kill suction . Just provides a key for smooth surfaces . Try some sbr in your pva . Works a treat .

Great tip . I’ve recently stated buying unibond or evostick. Can’t believe the difference well worth the extra cost . Tried explaining it to my mate but he can’t get his head around it . Cheap pva is false economy

Beeline sealer for me now two coats however you must let it harden off for several hours. Plastering pva over and when sticky and skim.

There are loads of products but cost and easy of use varies.

Blue grit works.
SBR is quicker drying
And so on.
I've user gardz which is styrene based like SBR.
