Why has PVA been painted on plaster board?
It's plaster ceiling they are going to skim it

Right. Usually you put a weak Pva wash on immediately prior to plaster. You donβt paint on Pva and leave to dry. Pva creates a water barrier which will cause new plaster to eventually spall.
If it lasts 10 years it'll see me out, fingers crossed

Mentally checked out for the day
My first house had the internal skin of the walls and all internal 4 &1/2" walls in those clay monstrosities.
Hard to hang a sink to a wall when the wall is only 1/2" thick effectively and 1/4" of that is the plaster.
My Dad taught me how to resolve the problem by knocking out the "failed" screw mount holes and filling the clay "pot" with mortar and setting studding (with the tails cut in 2 and fan-tailed out) in the right place. A solid fixing was available within a day.
On the plus side...... the internal wall betwixt bath & bog was easy to take down.
Who checked you out? Did you pass with flying colours? Oh.......

Take it easy don't over do it and make it worseMorning All.
My son and his kids have managed to provide me with a chest infection.
They've all allegedly had covid and I never succumbed to it....maybe until now.
I am still breathing so I shall be stoic and shrug it off eventually.
Have a great day!

Plasters can't do float and set these days that's why everything is dry lined a monkey can plaster on boards
