Hi Helly,
I have nothing against PVA it is a wonderfull product used correctly, if not it can cause problems.
PVA (Polyvinyl Acetate) comes in tubs and texture is simular to wood glue, used for sealing and bonding.
If it's New plaster on to old, then it's recomended to prime ceiling with a dilute PVA not one to one but about one to 4/5 water. I'd apply 2 coats. before plastering.
If straight on to plasterboard no priming needed but i'd dampen area i was to skim.
Helly;
if you have not yet discovered the Projects page on this website have a look under plastering, could be some good info if your DIY.
I hope this was helpfull and I answered your question/s
Regards
