    Default That damned PVA stuff again!!!!!

    I have a job to do in Leeds that is a total of 110 sq mts walls in 3 bathrooms and guess what!!!
    Client says that he has helped me out (NOT) by applying PVA to the walls for me.

    All walls are new plasterboard and now I have to get rid of that damned PVA stuff. I have in the past used a sander on the walls but was wondering if anyone knows the Quick way to remove it or is there a chemicle available?

    Tiles to apply are mostly large format 600x300 porcelain, Powdered bagged addy to be used to fix tiles.

    Any help would be most appreciated

    Can't help you I'm afraid but we really ought to start asking our clients NOT to pva walls!

    I took some tiles off a bathroom that was being converted into a wet room recently, they fell off in sheets. PVA had been used here for the original tiles. I showed the client why PVA should not be used. I couldn't actually have asked for a better demonstration!

    This chap was the helpful sort who may have otherwise PVAd the walls thinking he was speeding the job up. I just had to cope with his carp renering that just threw out a perfectly level wall instead!
