Just crack on as normal, Luke you had pva'd.

It hangs about on artex though so be prepared for a long wait

YEAH we jumped on job short notice as others slowed . Builder normally has it prepped but no time so didn't want to wait on pva. Do you still need to pva high suction background for it I.m guessing so

Be interested to here your review of using it , some say it's no different to use and some cry like babies about it,
On any painted surface you'll be fine , higher suction should be primed , also laid in with board finish is good

Some love it, some hate, I've never actually tried it. I probably should to give it a go but the thought of it's never sat right with me. Feels like it would be a game of trust plus it can't tell you about the background like pva and pre grit is fail safe

I agree . Why I never bothered with it . Just heard of it coming of so always gave it a wide birth
 
Why would you not have time to PVA? and i would never rely on someone else to do it unless under my supervision.

The builder knows what to do regards pva . We were meant to do it a week on Monday but brought it forward at short notice. So he.s not got time to get it ready so rather then wait all morning for pva to dry on artex were going for this uni finish .

What have you got to skim over John , it's true it might pull in fast on the first coat but most painted surfaces are fine and even if it did pull in fast I've never had a gauge set quicker than one hour and that's on really high suction such as backing coats besides that most houses do have painted ceilings so if you are fine doing 1/2 bags first coat and lay in with fresh you'll be fine , just don't over stretch yourself, even on matt paint it be fine when laid in if it did pull faster than normal
