I have had to re-plaster part of my shower room. This is about 25mm
thick and was done using browning and then finish plaster.
I am assuming that I need this to dry completey before I plaster. Once
this is done I should prime the surface.


I have read conflicting advice on this. The tiling faq


http://www.enigmatist.com/free/john49/tilefaq.htm
recommends the use of pva.


However, elsewhere I have read that this can cause problems if it gets
wet.


I would be interested to hear the views of the group on this.


You have to check the instructions for the adhesive you use.
None are likely to recommend PVA as it's water soluable,


Except when it's waterproof?
