No clue what ur on about mate, yes sometimes you can leave PVA to dry completely, but you must coat it again as the PVA has to be tacky when applying the plaster.. you can get info leaflets on this sort of stuff ya know..lol

no it doesn't makes no difference
 
it makes no difference if the PVA is tacky or not, it re-emulsifies when ya skiiming
 
Cassie. Next time you're skimming a pvad wall. Put a blob on the adjacent wall (onto dry pva) after an hour or so try and scrape it off and you'll see it takes the pva with it as its reemulsified and bonded together

What was the first product you used instead of pva? I used thistle bondit until i found Betakontakt.

We used bond it. We were refurbishing a pub/restaurant in cov and they wanted the toilets skimming but didn't want tl to take the tiles off. The builder said he'd heard of this stuff that is designed to go over tiles so you can skim them (the original adverts said exactly that)

Didn't find out about bluegrit or wba til I came on here

i did my own bathroom tiles with pva and it turned out tip top, as long as you dont bang on the second coat to soon it should be ok like shimming a painted wall.
 
Ahh right never tried it like. Do you leave pva over night? Is ok even on glazed tike?

yeh, ok on glazed tiles, hangs around tho, gotta let the pva really tack up or it will slide around..
