Vinegar!! Dowse the lot with vinegar then put on a thin coat of iron bru!!!! Make sure it's iron bru mind!!! And just remember to go steady and not but too much on its expensive stuff with these sugar taxes! I think Travis are doing them for£8 a can (y)
 
Thanks for your help guys I don't expect anything else than laughable suggestions on here but I know there's always one or two that will give a sensible answer lol
 
Wait till @Danny sees it! Editing ,deleting and banning is in order, especially for the old school butter spreading scones lovers.

Allo Dave!
There’s Always a sensible answer for a fellow hammer mate!!
Just pva it till it ain’t sucking in the pva at a rapid rate. If it’s really bone dry it may need a good 3 coats of (watered down) pva. Depending on the make of pva (thickness out of the tub) then the ratio to use will be 1-1/2-1 (water to pva).
All the best davey, I wish you happy Plastering mate and Come on you Irons!! (y)

If it's only 5sqm surely it don't matter how fast it goes off as long as you get it to the point it won't craze

I've tried going over new plaster before and it sucked the hell out of it straight away after PVA so just wondered if there's any other way of getting over the problem didn't realise I was gonna start world war three lol
