just got a load of 'bond it' scrim from prestige,its a rep that used to work for wack,he's relentless so i just give in and have another order.the scrim sticks well but constantly frays as you unroll it :tonto:
went in wickes early and missed it,5 bags only per person but theres 5 members of the same family with a trolley each..:censored: kept my mouth shut like a good boy
when i done the ceilings today i put two good coats straight on,flattened them with a plaziflex two or three times to get it near perfect then left it to almost go grey then hit it with a steel trowel and water.

tried the make good again thurs and today,got half a decent finish but the random drying in patches is still a pain,the only good thing is once its dry it rubs down like easy fill.i found if you can get the second coat on as near to perfect with a plasiflex then leave it alone for a bit then...
I used it today for the first time on board work,even put two coats of pva on the boards the day before,I've been plastering for 33 years and I tried every trick and trowel to get a proper finish.its either too wet or it just goes off in various areas so theres no consistency.I had 20 bags...
