Hi guys,

Just after some advice. My house has a garage build on to the side of it which I'm in the process of converting into an extra room. There are quite a variety of surfaces that need plastering. Two of the walls are concrete block and the other two are thermalite blocked with some bricked sections.

I've never been a fan of the dot and dab method. My plan is to use Febond Blue Grit to prime the surfaces, then use Thistle Bonding, with a final coat of multi finish. Will this work OK?

Many thanks,

Jamie :)
 
Hi jamie

What dont you like about dot and dab.... a floated wall is good but it does have its drawbacks...
If you get the boards tight to the brickwork you can always plug and screw through to hang anything off and if you want to be ocd you can clad the wall with osb (i have just done this) then you can hang anything off it :-)well to a point....

Floating walls is a reasonable skilled job and i know a lot of plasterers (if you can call them that) That cant float for toffee....lol

Bonding is for low suction so i would probably look at using hardwall or toughcoat :-)

Lots and lots of more qualified people here that can answer you and will probably have a better response than mine :-)

bonding no. hardwall and skim. but you have 3 different materials, brick, concrete block and high suction block. for your job dot and dab will give you the better finish and hide the cracks that you will get with different brick/blockwork. you need to employ a plasterer.
