you'd think that there'd be a universal primer that would allow ettringite formation to occur between cement addy and gypsum substrate though.[/QUOTE]


Why allow:yikes::lol:

ettringite formation is good Mark, ettringite failure is bad

slightly off topic but still on pva

I was in my paint suppliers last week and there was a bloke going at the manager hammer and tongs, he was waving some low tack masking tape around claiming it had pulled the paint off his ceiling when he pulled it off

the manager turned to me and said. your a painter does this pull paint off and i said no its green which means low tack and wont pull the paint off

so the manager said the ceiling mifgt have been distempered in the past and the guy said no its a new ceiling and im a plasterer and plastered it myself

the manager said did you seal it , meaning a mist coat, and the guy said of course i did , i used pva:yikes:

well there you go then

i nearly wet myself laughing as the manager went on to explain that theres no place in decorating where you use pva and the whole ceiling would have to be stripped :lol:
