If you think it needs hacking off and re doing insist on it, your the tradesman with the knowledge tell them what's needed and if they don't want it say get someone else in

I like to use half time accelerator on bathrooms..... Mix a thick batch of skim, get it on and spat it immediately as my base coat .... Its ok to skim over after about 40 mins...

Do you always pva prior or go straight on with your Bonding?

I'd love to see if you could get away without needing to pva all the time on those sort of jobs to keep the mess down!

I haven't got the bottle to try!

I've never once pva'd before bonding chases or back to brick and never had a report of a fail, only PVA if on the top of something old and smooth, also not scratched it back, use a sponge to rough the surface and give a key ....did masses of bonding in my lounge diner about 3 years ago and not a crack or anything and been back to loads of jobs where I did the same and never an issue

Get a halftime in it too ready to skim in an hour and cos it sets fast no need to second coat as non of the shrinkage cracks you normally get

It's more where it's applied thin and over paint/artex/ old skim etc I'm curious.

Chases and such you will be ok though I still pva anyway tbh or at the very least wet area down.

Same i always at least soak chases as all the dust

Never wet a chase yet but I'm rough, but never seen a crack along a chase I skimmed so far

Problem with chases is the dust in there, so if dont wet or pva then the bonding can just be balanced on dust, skim will hold it all in but wouldn’t be as strong.

That said, if you’ve not had any issues maybe I’ve been waisting my time pissing in chases

As said I don't know, sure I'll get bashed to f**k as normal but never done it, just if the first coat shrinks second coat it with same gear and always been ok
