Hi everybody need advice been doing re skim work over original plaster ,mate i was working with did not want to pva twice so put course sand in neat pva and rolled over walls ,the next day we skim straight over this .Is this a recognised way to do job ? any poss probs this is my first time on site and have found it very usefull
 
I rarely pva twice the only time i do is when the walls are sucking in quick, 95% is just pva let it go tacky and skim, doing it twice is just a wate of time if its not needed.
 
I have used sand in PVA before on some really shiny old plaster.
Nowadays I just use WBA
