Pva plasterboards

[bparker35]

Hi im new on here was just after some advise on pva plasterboards. I got told if they have been up for more then 3 months then to give them a pva first.

Yes, if there up for a long time,a coat of pva will stop them from soaking in the plaster too quickly, you can always do a test piece to see what's. The suction like before hand by applying a small bit of finish

No need to use PVA just a damp brush to remove the dust, well that's what BG tell you to do. All about the dust getting in the open pores on the board.

I use betokontackt on plasterboard on large ceiling - slow down the suction

If you use foil back boards the wrong way round then it takes ages to set.
Yes I know.

Well they did say that Uni-Finish was our answer to our problems, turned out to be their problem in the end
