Hi fellas.
Reasonably new to this forum so be gently, I'm a sensitive sort of fella
Been plastering on and off for quite a few years,a decorator by trade in the past.
Recently took down old lath and plaster ceiling in my own house and hacked of old plaster.
Brushed walls down and gave them a couple of coats of pissy PVA .
Floated Hardwall,ruled off and scratched up.
Thing is, that despite the pissy PVA coats, the whole floating coat crazed up like crazy like I've never experienced before.
Some of it has quite clearly not adhered to the wall but other parts have.
Is this a case of still too much draw in old brickwork and should I have given it a bit of a stronger PVA coat ?
I understand that Hardwall should not be used with any bonding agents apart from something weak to kill off too much draw.
Bags in date so no problem there, so any suggestions welcome.
All the best
Gerry
