He wants it done on the cheap and I know there's ways to get round it buy the don't come up cheap , if I and a little sand with the pva make it pretty much neat pva recon that will work i know it's a low sunction background, just worried that maybe the pva might react when out finish on and start bleeding through or even slide everywhere

Skimming over old nackered plasterboard/dry lining can be a pain, sometimes the paper on the plasterboard lifts away and the skim bubbles. I normally use blue grit and when skimming let the first coat really pick up before second coating. Take some pictures so we can see what your up against
