PVA before coving?
I have a house to cove. The ceilings and walls have just been plastered so do I have to PVA first , and if so, put the coving up when the bonding is tacky?
Its BG 5" coving and I will probably use BG joint filler to stick it on .
Thanks

I never PVA skim before I cove, but use cove adhesive. Saying that, I have had the odd piece come off where the plasterer has polished the walls up too much and the adhesive hasn't bonded. Now, I just put a couple of sheradised pins in each piece, punched in and filled over, to be safe. You will find that joint filler will suck in very quickly on new plaster.
