PVAing the plaster is a fashion without need. Paint onto bare dry plaster
results in the liquid in the paint being sucked into the plaster, leaving
it short of glue, hence the peeling. Solutions:
a) 50/50 diluted ****coat first
b) paint the plaster with water, wait 5 minutes then paint as normal.
c) dilute PVA onto plaster first. Too much and you get slicks paint won't
stick to.
I prefer B, it's quicker & stronger. C I'd avoid.
so b) is quicker and stronger than a)?
Yes. The watercoat is extremely fast to do, nothing like a coat of paint where you need to take some care. So you get a full strength coat in a few minutes more than it takes to do the ****coat. With a ****coat much of the diluted glue soaks into the plaster, weakening the paint. With B it doesn't.
