if you pva the limelite it will hang like a biotch i learned this the first time i did it on a refurb for the council years back so ii just used to pva the usual stuff n leave the limelite as long as its been rubbed up u should be ok i never had any probs :RpS_thumbup:

Don't Pva over the limelite as its waterproof like dri coat so the skimming will hang anyway

limelight is suppose to breath !!
pva counter acts this by sealing everything in making limelight useless , don't know what everybody else thinks ?

Aye, s'what I thought hence the high impact finish. Not used it on full re-skims myself only on damping jobs that were just to be patched in.

I've always skimmed bottom hi impact and top multi and let them set together , way I was told 30 years ago and its easier than trying to patch them both in together once set .
