Hi guys just wondering if anyone can help me. Done an artex ceiling the other day, pva'd it bonded over it then the following day pva'd it again then skimmed it. and as I'm trowelling up it decides to pretty much fall off. To begin with the bond coat falling off the artex but then even the artex was coming including the top layer of paper off the boards.
Done plenty before and not had problem. Anyone know any hard and fast rules regarding this would be much appreciated. It was the swirly type.
 
yeah been thinking about this, there's another thread here bout pva and artex - whether it weakens the bond.

but to cut a long story short, use a plaster bonding agent like wba, bondit all the other newer cheaper ones discussed on here.
