Just spent a fortune having lounge skimmed over, then spent 8 hours yesterday sealing it with PVA only to read on here thats not what to do.

Should i take the PVA off, if so how, do you just wash it off, or can a put a 50:50 emulsion water on top off the PVA??

Please help and really worried now!!

Thanks for your help.

And so you should be :eek: the whole house will now fall down around your ears :LOL:

Try washing it off with warm water. Should work. Not the end of the world though. Mist coat all the walls with a contract emulsion watered down about 25% when thouroughly dry paint as normal. ;)
 
When the warm water starts softening it, use a broad metal scraper which will get it off much better than rags and brsuhes.
