HI CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF ITS POSSIBLE TO PLASTER OVER TILES AND IF SO WOULD I NEED TO USE A PVA BASE COAT FIRST MANY THANKS

[thedoctor]

It is possible but it does not usually last too long. The surface of ceramic tiles is not conducive to coverings and even PVA and latex adhesives peel of after a while. This is why they make special paints just for tiles.
