    and searching round their website.
    Interestingly they do not seem to differentiate between plasters from a quick look.

    Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
    I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
    It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.
  • I'm even more confused now. I have an enormous tub of Unibond Tile on Walls, mould resistant for bathroom and showers waterproof adhesive and grout, which states "prime porous surfaces with 1 part Unibond PVA diluted with 5 parts water and allow to dry".

    I was left with instructions to PVA some plasterboard this evening ready for tomorrow; but the PVA is another brand; not Unibond.

    Do I go ahead; or delay things and "splash out" if you pardon the pun on some aquapanel and be done with it?

    sorry ethalhead i can't answer your question, but u may find this of interest.

    does anyone know if before bonding you should pva the brick work ? I saw a plasterer do this once ? it might have been watered down pva.
