I have just done roughly the same thing. a 50/50 pva / water solution

painted roughly over the wall sealed it up nicely... and gave a good

Thanks. I've never used this PVA stuff before...do I clean brushes in
hot water after use? Or so I need white spirit?

I was also about to say, I'd treat the walls with PVA first! A 1:4
solution would be plenty strong enough; any more is a waste.

PVA is a multi-purpose adhesive; it's water soluble so just wash out
under the tap. It comes in everything from expensive little 125 ml pots
(woodworker's glue), through 2.5 litre cans of "builder's adhesive" at
B&Q, up to massive drums of the stuff at Jewson's.
