Default Plastering on plaster

Further to my bath installation problem, The Natural Philosopher
suggested one solution of adding a layer of plaster.
So what is the best way of doing this, I may need to plaster over virgin
new plaster. Do I need to score the existing plaster, would I be best
using finishing or base coat plaster?

TIA

Seal the previous coat with 5:1 PVA mix, let go off, apply another coat of
3:1 PVA, wait until tacky about 30 min and skim with multi finish.
