I would not use PVA anywhere near any tiling.

its not that it wont stick to chipboard it will but if the chipboard gets wet it will swell and fall apart thats why we use ply or hardiebacker never use pva a good acrilic primer is needed for the bottom and sides of ply!

Agree with you there re PVA have to read the manufacturers instructions and apply a special primer if necessary
