I had to take all the plaster off a brick wall before I could board it and used diluted PVA to consolidate the dust first.
The drywall addy wouldn't have stuck otherwise.
pva is usually use on browning coat to stop finish plaster sucking to much , it would,nt hurt to put some on brick work just to eliminate any dust
Let's point out what the problem is with it for most of us, it's the fact cement-based products mix with plaster which causes the two to de-bond (a tiny chemical reaction causes the two to sort of cause atom-sized explosions, causing the two particles to not bond). So providing we're not talking about cement on plaster, plaster on cement, I think there's no problem in using PVA.
Sirapite (a gypsum finish)was used on cement backings for a large number of years with no problems
