So I plastered over a shallow pattern artex ceiling yesterday but had to leave it as soon as I'd gave it a second coat because I'd dropped wet plaster in my eye and ended up getting it washed out at the hospital. Fun...
Went back this morning and the plaster was still dark, place is empty and heatings on very low. I gave it a coat of PVA planning on re-skimming it today, I couldn't say how diluted it was because I go by eye but I left it fairly thick because I was conscious of it not probably not drying quickly.
Went back 3/4 hours later and PVA still tacky so clearly ceiling has hardly any suction. Have left again and turned heating up and plan to go back tomorrow.
Slight concern having read a couple bits online... because the ceiling wasn't fully dry will the PVA have sealed/adhered to the plaster properly as long as the PVA is given time to 100% dry, no matter how slow? Or would ceiling always have to be properly dry before giving it a coat of unibond?
Hope that makes sense and any help appreciated. Thanks.
