Ratio for Mixing PVA to Seal new Plaster for Wallpapering Ask your questions and find answers on many subjects relating to plastering and dry lining

[petbro]

I've just skimmed a wall using ready mixed plaster & skim which i bought from a large DIY store. Instructions advise that if i'm going to wallpaper after i should apply a sealing agent. Can someone tell me therefore what the ratio is for making up PVA and how soon can i start the wallpapering once applied?

Thanks
Peter
