yes on both,wet bricks down first with large brush etc,or use pva
apply before plaster,stops plaster being sucked into bricks etc stops cracking,gives more time to play with,you will be expert ?
dont be afraid of it,you can allways clear the mess up !! use a straight edge to level from excisting plaster to new? hope this helps

You can use bonding coat plaster BUT browning plaster would be the correct plaster to use. Brick walls have pretty high suction and bonding plaster is normally used on low suction surfaces, however you can reduce the suction by putting 2 coats of PVA on before you start the 1st coat pref. on the day before, if you do not do this your bonding coat would end up like crazy paving. Been a qualified plast. since 1981

try buying a bag of bonding compound ..and sticking a plasterboard to the wall.. then you can skim it you could use bonding coat but its sticky and you don't get much suction for the topcoat providing you wet the wall down well you could use browning ..then skim .dotting the boards is easiest for the amateur

As the name would suggest to me "bonding coat" is the one that joins the surfaces together.

Bonding is easier to use in my opinion.
Browning has always cracked then I have used it.
