Hi guys need some advice.
I have just moved into a new bungalow which needs some work doing.
stripped the wallpaper from hallway , walls are smooth concrete.
What is best solution to prepare these walls for skimming?
Pretty sure pva isn't the solution as concrete will just soak up water so fast.
wise knowledge is needed!! :)
 
That why you prime the wall first with PVA. Mix it at 5:1 water:pVA. Then you can PVA it as normal. Prob best waiting for a day after priming it
