hi guys is there anybody having trouble with b/gypsum board finish? seems to be dragging and setting quicker
 
Can be like that sometimes if its really new. Try opening the bags the day before you use them to let some air in

That wasnt very funny?!! Good advice though! :D
 
(french word) to board finish, use multi, wack it on thick in this weather and one coat it... ;D well on new board anyway..
 
BG have started wrapping it in plastic liners, have they had some complaints? I used some multi the other day that too is wrapped in plastic, gotta keep it better!
 
True but I hate cuttin into em with the plastic bag. Usually Two swipes with the trusty old bucket trowel and Ive beheaded the bast**d but with these pesky bags its like hacking of a scab!

better for who? the suppliers factoring the material or the end user? apparently it will extend its shelf life but i aint checked any bag dates..
im finding it takes forever to get the lumps out for some reason?

turn your bag the right way up mate and theres a purpose designed little 'handle' for you to get your hand in and rip the top off... ;D
 
It's certainly good for me at the mo in this weather, getting condensation dripping off the van roof! Been covering up with a tarp. :)
 
sppose it stops it soaking moisture up but im finding it sort of settles in the bottom of the bag more solid than the paper bags... maybe thats got something to do with the lumps? or maybe just the cold? just seems different somehow, but why should it be? bg say 'you may find some difference in behaviour'... why?

in fact why bother in the first place? plastic isnt biodegradable... anyone know?
 
Can't say I've had any probs mixing.
I know daft init, the world is going on melt down about global warming and green issues, so wot does the worlds manufacturers do...use more plastic!!
