More you play with it the worse it gets when hanging for ages - according to my Mrs [emoji1]

My cousin said he had a day last week like this does happen some times baffles me why or what it is ...think we have all had a s**t mix day though.
@Gorto what brand/make pva s did you use then?

zombie · Jan 31, 2016

I always work on dry PVA I find that eliminates 90% of problems...

For me that skim when tacky malarky just causes dramas!

Pagey · Jan 31, 2016

Pva is a massive issue gypbond always if time allows,expensive pva is the way I go hate it when before had it split and that,makes it hard work

How much is gypbond?
Never used it but see it in merchants

Come on the @theplasterman this is a perfect unifish opportunity!!!

kylethetile · Jan 31, 2016

How about using SBR Bonding instead of pva ?

It's about 45 quid ish I love the stuff I had some cheap pva once prepped the walls pva was dry put skim on and the pva came back to life I had no choice but to stop and gypbond and re skim costly day that 1 tub will go a long way as well

Remember though if you did use it I think it has curing time of a minimum of 8 hours (don't quote me on that though) but pukka stuff

Thistle bond it day before then 3 coats of finish job done

brimplas1 · Jan 31, 2016

I've been using a lot of the cementone plasterers stabliser.. It applies really well and is around 30 quid with the vat from Travis

when do you use it?

kylethetile · Jan 31, 2016

I use weber pr360 to prime anything I'm tiling,leveling or the occasional tiny bits of plastering

Pug · Jan 31, 2016

Magnets own brand is good. Never had any issues with it.

Arti · Jan 31, 2016

Sometimes on reskims if its had wallpaper on and it hasnt been sugar soaped the pva turns slimey on the paste residue and the gear sometimes slides when troweling up

Are you more tiling than plastering then?

Nothing wrong with SBR, its great when tilers use it on skimmed walls instead of pva.

yeah I'm tiling full time only do little bits of plastering if it's a necessity but I enjoy doin it but I don't take on plastering work as such I'm to slow and not experienced enough I leave it to the professional

Danny · Jan 31, 2016

It might be the finish.... try an different shed to buy it from

I think storage of finish is a big issue in it being a little unstable

Gorto · Feb 1, 2016

It was a b&q one. Never normally buy my pva from there so thought it was that then I got normal one I get . The one in yellow tub from our merchants . Think it's ever build

Gorto · Feb 1, 2016

It's was dry aswel. I agree with zombie . Don't skim wen tacky
