I seem to have touched a nerve with you about doing fiddly shite jobs nobody else really wants to do unless they really have to. Like I say each to their own. I don't need to do them. But good luck to you. And I didn't really mean fiddly jobs either. Just shite tedious and frustrating jobs with...

Whys that? I don't do shite fiddly jobs when there's easier jobs out there. Lol. You're welcome to them.

But I still don't believe him. But then it makes no difference as I'll have to use whatever they put on the shelves.

Lol. You're correct. Just reread it and he doesnt mention board. Oh well that's my argument shot down in flames. Another hour I won't get back.

Fair enough but if hes misleading about that when it states differently on their own website why would anyone believe they're not doing the same with finish?

In the end it is what it is. I'll just have to use whatever shite you put on the shelves and get used to it. But when you lie or mislead it tends to leave a sour taste in the mouth. This is your own website: https://www.british-gypsum.com/about-us/sectors/offsite/prs But your telling me you...

Hi. I'm new on here but found my way here by googling board finish problems etc. I've been in the game since 1984 and would argue that lately something has changed with your product. What about your own video? 3:30 onward?

It sounds like you don't have a clue. What happened when you went to price the job and the possible solutions were mentioned? Anyway just don't do it. I never touch artex jobs these days, or bathrooms, or kitchens, or chases. Easier work out there. Sod that.

I agree and unfortunately don't think it's ever going to change. Especially when we leave the EU when any imports would be subject to import duties as well. I'm not being political there as its a plastering forum but it is the case. I've read through this thread and the letter to british gypsum...

I was at Bury C of E in the seventies. But I'm Gary and not Gareth. Not a popular name anymore

Its no secret that they recycle the board but they seem a bit talk to the hand when asked about the plaster itself. Deffo something changed in it in my opinion. Its like opening a lucky bag and not knowing what you're going to get. Showing my age there :(

Thanks. I've read some threads similar on here and they never seem to admit to any additives for some reason. But it's obvious they do. I mean whats the big secret ?Why not admit it? It's like the cover up is worse than the crime. I'm thinking they add calcium sulphate or similar to speed up the...

Hiya boys. Im Gary Cheeseman from 1st Choice Plastering. Just wondering if anyone else thinks board finish is sub standard of late. Either seems gloopy like its been mixed with pva instead of water or goes off like a whippet? Or is it just me overthinking it?
