I get this a lot on houses built in the 1970.s on re skims when the wall paper has been taking off it lifts the skim coat off. The render
is so dry it's hard to find anything which will control the suction on the render , pva a waste of time at present am giving it a coat of
sbr leave over night then pva as normal ready to skim.
 
I can only think over the years the render is so dry from pvc windows and central heating. , I did a bathroom last week and on one wall which had the problem off patches of skim blown from the render, so when I re skimmed on these patches was small craze cracking on my first coat yet the top finish coat
is ok .
 
I just knew you were gonna mention artex sealer mt. I think you must have shares in it ffs lol
