    why not PVA?

    Hi guys, ive always been lead to believe NOT to use pva glue as a primer, but have recently finished working with an experienced plasterer and tiler who used it to seal ply on our floors!? What Is the reason people dont reccomend using it? Is it just as bad or worse to use pva glue to seal walls?
