I know its prob a silly question, but the last thing I need is the plasterer moanin on the day and saying he cant do it.

sorry m8 but all the paper will have to come off im affraid, or as you say the guy doing the plastering wont be a happy bunny

is the paper straight on to the plasterboard ??? or is it plastered, ?

i think the paper is part of the actual plasterboard.

If it is just the board paper you should be able to SBR it then plaster it. That's what I'd do anyway..

if the paper is tight to the gyprock , and clean, it should skim straight over.

Sorry, SBR?

might be a meaning for pva >> uni bond,

Ahh I see, so would it be best to unibond it before the plasterer arrives, time to dry etc

Whats the stuff to get?

if the plaster board are paper free and clean, then no need to pva them, they will cover ok.

Sorry. SBR: It's like PVA but ten times better, it won't break down. Just ask for it in any building supplies place and they'l have it. It's little more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

From the picture it looks like the paper is peeling off. Do you agree that SBR would be the best product to use?

Ive never heard of it , Unless its called some thing else in the trade ????

It's latex based rather than PVA (Polyvinyl acetate).

never heard of it never used it, Ive allways used pva , if the job called for it, but lots of new stuff out what I dont know about, Ive been Plastering for over 30 years so Ive seen lots of changes.

Maybe PVA will do the job. I was always taught to use SBR over PVA, that was by time served plasterers also.

Doesn't matter really, it dries fairly quickly.

If thats what SBR is its a latex based compund more comonly used for stippling cement to concrete walls to provide a good surface for applying render. There is no reason why that would be any better than PVA for a light skim to walls :)
