Pva on Board ?

[GerryT]

Hi Fellas.

Installed some new boards after taking down old lath and plaster ceiling, but boards have now been up for just over a month so was wondering if they may need a dose of PVA or not before skimming due to other work going on around them, dust etc?

Thanks for any help in advance.

They should be ok after four weeks.Just make sure they are clean and dust free.

I did one yesterday , ceiling and walls , i just washed it down with water , went off nicely , home by 3.
PVA do no harm but will go off slower , be sure to wash the walls either way to get rid of dust etc.

If the boards are discoloured I would p.v.a them mate, they will suck like hell otherwise! if they haven't lost any colour then just brush them off and skim as normal!
