Betakontact

[rowland gatward]

Used this stuff the other day over artex and it was brilliant. Also tried it on a painted wall the other day, I did have to put it on thin cos was running out and it was awful, bits drying before other bits etc. Can someone just confirm to me that it's fine to use on painted walls just as long as enough betakontakt is applied? Thanks

its perfect for painted srfaces just make sure its well stirred up and you can add a little water aswell just makes it run a bit better on high suction backgrounds it wont go very far mate

course you can use it on paint dude, its designed for low suction/nosuction backgrounds, being why it has an aggregate in it to give the plaster something to stick to!

did you get betokontakte in 20kg or the wba in 3kg :rolleyes) & the stuff is fantastic

Yeah I got the betakontakt in 20kg just spread it on so thin, cos when I've used it on artex ceilings it's been really good

did you let it dry first or go straight over?

as plasterjfe did you let it dry first & i put it on with a roller & give it a good stir every now & again as the grit settles back to the bottom :RpS_thumbup:
