As a fellow Kneedy Plasterer, I'm with Steve - I've never seen a spread put PVA onto ordinary p/boards, and I don't see the need for it.

You'd be better staggering your guages if it's too big for you to do in one, or get help.

all im saying is its a get out of jail free card if you dont think you can hit it in one goo
iv seen loads of plasterers pva over new/old board work if its a big hit and it just gives you that little bit of time too sort it out thats all
im not saying its the best way of doing things but if it works and the plasterer/diyer thinks it will help them out why not wont hert will it

Agree, nothing wrong with giving it a go, horses for courses and all that -
but in my book a rolling guage is the answer . As Steve said , it's not something plasterers would do as a rule .

Pva ing boards is an extra job to do , and you have ot make sure you go on it before the PVA sets or you are making trouble for yourself

Keeping a joint fresh with a rolling guage , even if it's just a 1/4 bucket of new gear to keep things going is handier IMHO - but as you say , everything is worth a try

the only problem with a rolling guage is it will take you best part of a day to do one surface depending on how big it is mabey all day, where as with the pva on boards you can do it in one go 4 hours max and your on a second hit, thus in my opinion getting more done in a day.
but as mic said horses for courses
