best primer fro skimming and tiling

[Alan M]

hi there.
we all know th eproblems with PVA. iv got a utility room to tile above the worktop (12" max above)
the room was a bathroom and the wall was tile to the ceiling. thats gone along with most of the skim. it needs re skimming but im a bit concerned about letting the plasterer (my father, so i know how messy he is with it:mad2 use pva.

is there a tiling sealer that can also be used with skim. he is afraid of a reaction between the special primer and the skim.

any advice please

thanks alan

I allways use pva when skimming onto existing walls but only allow 20kg m2 for tiles, if using a cement adhesive use an acrylic primer as in Mapei g after the plaster has dried

i was hoping to only skim above where the tiles are going so that i dont need to wait for it to dry out properly. i was hoping to use the same primer for both the tiles and skim

You will need somethink to help stick the plaster to the wall, an acrylic primer will not...

i just let him skim the whole lot.
il wait for it to dry out properly. it is safer than letting him get it on the area to be tiled.
