Simply enter your details in the box below and I’ll send a free video series showing you how to plaster your first wall. Bricks have a high suction rate whereas plasterboard has a very low rate of suction (which is why PVA isn’t needed on boards). There are certain things you need to do before you start plastering – you can’t just pick up a trowel and start skimming. Concrete sealers combat this problem by essentially sealing the concrete from moisture and locking in the crumbly surface of the concrete. PVA is used to coat extremely absorbent surfaces before the application of a finish which will dry out too quickly to work on if it were applied direct.

Timber can be sealed with PVA to give it a waterproof quality, although if the surface of the timber is to be subject to any wear or traffic, then PVA, as it is an emulsion, will eventually fail. If the PVA is dry, the surface will not be able to "suck up" any of the moisture in the mix and it will take longer to dry.

For example, when plastering over an existing artex ceiling the moisture in the plaster would be soaked up so quickly that the plaster would be rock hard in minutes and getting a smooth finish would be impossible.
