    Don't even bother using PVA at all. Use THISTLE BOND-IT and skim with board finish. Problems solved FACT.

    eml over painted heavy tyrolean

    Did one the same this year mate you will probably need more than 8 fixings but i know that the sheets of EML kinked a bit so a thick first coat was needed. Bead up after the scratch coat (except drip bead) WASHED SAND all will be fie.

    rib lath,

    5:1 scratch is FAR TOO WEAK, it will not work as far as waterproofing is concerned

    Drying out Plaster with no heating in house?

    no pick and mix... just natural drying

    rib lath,

    First coat 3:1 scratched leave for 2 days then 6:1:1 sand cement lime. The biggest mistake people make when rendering is that they use the wrong sand.. MUST BE WASHED PLASTERING SAND.
