skimming over glossy walls

[robrado974]

very new on here so dont know if this is a pea roast . sometimes we have had a problem going over vynal silk painted walls or gloss painted ones . even if the pva is dry or tacky sometimes it starts to skid and move on the surface . you can either leave it for an hour then put another two coats on , or as we have found out lately mix some dot n dab in with the pva. This way you get a nice surface to skim over that wont slide around . Hope this may be some help to anyone . regards rob .

personally i chuck a couple of handfuls of soft in with my pva. but im tight

i would recomend the plasprime product from soveriegn its better than the other because the aggregate doesnt sink meaning no stirring and you get a very even coating
