when skimming walls, can you do it over backing paper or does it have to be directly on the plasterboard??

Answer:

Apply oil based Kilz first. It seals off the paper so that the moisture cannot penetrate.
I'm no expert but would think you would need to remove backing paper before plaster goes over it , or paper will become very wet and start peeling away with plaster attached ........................... :)
