Hi all, done a few Victorian houses with very thirsty walls, do any of you guys use Micro or Plasprime for internal walls & would they make my life easier?
Anything but micro. Has a horrendous eggy smell lately
When did you use it last dan? Its rank lately. Lads at the merhants asked if id done a **** in the back of the van and left it there

Micro is 40quid a tub. Itll do more than 4 times the amount Pva does if correctly done with 2 coats. So works out cheaper. Added bonus of mechanical key. Dries within the hour. Doesnt take days to set on glossy surfaces like pva.
ffs tub of pva a tenner mix 50/50 and crack on maybe 2 coats if feeling posh!!!
bunch of fukin frustrated lab technicians you lot!!!:rolleyes)

plus theres a good chance there has been wallpaper on the walls , pva will reactivate the old paste , and your plaster will rip and tear under troweling , with a bonding agent it wont .
I have just done a victorian property and used cementone's plasterers stabilizer with great results! Between two of us we were putting on approx 40m2 and having to wait a bit for it to pull in.
