Haha never met the guys wife
By domestic housing standards if a fair size at 6x4.5 so trying to skim that even with grit is gonna be a b*****d.
Don't often see much bigger unless it's a knock through

@flynnyman
In fact I tell a lie it wasn't paper taped it was square edge boards with fibre tape and jointed so all wrong to start with.

Exactly what I doeasy solution... overboard... make sure you charge for it though
Obviously when you quoted the over skim you gave them the two options of overboard or over skim and you did mention that if it fails they have to pay
If they chose the cheaper option that becomes their problem in my opinion and when I had one fail in the past they just paid me to overboard it as I did mention that it is a risk

I'll have to see what's going on first.
@Danny wasn't a case of being the cheapest or anything like that.
The guys a decent fella so I know he's not pulling my chain about it.
Problem I've got now is everything's on hold so wants it sorting tomorrow WTF.
As daft as it sounds I feel like I'm being backed into a corner

Exactly the same mate 1 coat let dry second coat tacky.
Enough suction. I'm just here now so I'll update when I come out other side
If it hasn't fully dried it will still sucks a little. Never had pva itself fail, only the surface underneath. Let us know what's on the back of it.

I know that, that's why I think there should be no suction!

UPDATE
Right I've been to access the situation.
Big positive to start with there's only myself and the sparky I got him that he's been happy with. Even with this slight issue.
The joiner he's having a ding doing with.
He's not too happy with the decorators because the didn't mask off the trims and sockets etc.
He's picky and a perfectionist (nothing wrong with that I actually like that).
Back to the skim falling off and not adhering.
WELL it's not and it's not falling off its stuck like s**t to a blanket.
100% dried to quick and the cracking is exactly where the settlement cracks were before. It's just come back through.
The movement he was talking about is on the crack itself and to be honest I couldn't really see it myself.
I tried chipping a bit off and could I f**k chip it off.
He saw the prep when I did it as well we're having a good old chat at the time so he's happy I did the prep and everything correctly. (It helps using iluminous orange scrim).
He's not actually attributing the blame on me after me showing him it's stuck etc. more a case of can I sort it yesterday.
It's all on one side. Basically going to be a patch repair.
He's happy with my suggested method to remedy it. I've agreed I will do it FOC but have made it clear I cannot guarantee it will not come back and if it does I will have to overboard it which would be chargeable.
The guys happy. I'm happy that I haven't done anything obvious wrong and we've agreed on a way to move it on.
I took some pictures but you actually can't see much at all so no point posting.
