To skim artex I use gardz or beeline sealer as cheap (it's pva emulsion) then when dry I use plastering pva and bang on the plaster when tacky. Blue grit, thistle bondit etc is another waste of time and money which offers no benefit over pva/sbr plus it has added drying time, uneven coverage and as you have already stated there are issues with plaster adhesion.

Plastering over smooth and low-suction backgrounds such as glass, glazed-tiles, plasterboard or ceramics? Blue grit is an OK sealer and fine to skim on as suction goes most of the time, but sometimes I pva it and when sticky skim just because I know it will pull a bit too much especially on big areas.Another benefit of Febond Blue Grit is that it is plastered over once dry, usually after around 6 hours, taking the guesswork out of drying times associated with traditional PVA methods.
