JR, I don't think Wickes are stocking it but give them a bell to find out, another tip for you, do a wall first as I know a customer who battled with a ceiling the first time out. Not fun.

Nisus, do you think I've been fitted up! Someone must like me ;)
 
I've not been this excited since we used to get the tv wheeled into the classroom at school:RpS_biggrin:...... Great innit, relyin on travis to give us info on unifinish!!cheers travis guy! Surely someone from bg could step up and give us some info on here:RpS_unsure:

I'm not knocking this stuff because I haven't tried it yet, but I want to try it.
So I would like to know exactly what surfaces it can be used on without any pre treatment?
Because perfectly painted walls on reskims are not the norm are they. :RpS_wink:


I do not work for BG however I have asked BG many questions about this product and am still gathering info about it. It seems Unifinish could be used in all your mentioned applications including your pictures, although if a surface requires a stabilising solution Unifinish could not "fix" this issue. I've also noticed on their website something about they cannot guarantee the bond between Artex and substrate which I will be talking to BG about.

Might be worth you looking at this Link Removed

It's not an error mate, there just saying that if the artex is not bonded to the ceiling properly and starts peeling of after applying unifinsh that it is nothing to do with unifinish which is correct.

No mate you got it wrong, Travis put a link up to BG site & it was the wrong page, so it made the link as British Gypsum Error.
Have a look at his post & click the words it's an error in the link :RpS_wink:
That's why he posted another link below his post.

Think we need to have a Uni off........see what this voodoo finish is all about............:RpS_thumbup:
 
Anyone thought about booking into the Drylining training centre at BG?
I'm sure they would let you guys play around with Uni-finish on various surfaces free of charge!

If not, maybe your local merchant might hold a BG Uni-finish day for you to have a go.

I take it your local branch are not looking after you as well as you feel they could, sometimes it's who you know and what they know that can make the difference!

I have a lot of customers who say the same of other merchants, swings in roundabouts I suppose.

I work at a branch which is in Derby/Nottingham area. Not much good for you guys but then again I didn't sign up to gain new business I signed up to see what you all think of Uni-finish.

Not sure how long I'll stay, as not too sure about using the TP name what with the monitors changing the avatar to Jewsons, B&Q, Selco etc.
Maybe I'll just sign up under my own name instead.

so your real name isnt Travis Perkins..............:-0
 
i went into a buttles near me a while back and bonding was £12! the next nearest place was half hour away.
 
The price initially put me off but then the setting time of 1.5 hours sounds good when you add what else your saving with not PVAing you might easily get that extra hit in but what surprises me is its not for machine plastering, Its surprising, they bring out a spray plaster then lets say a year later bring out a unifinish, why not bring out a unifinish spray plaster? Or maybe whats next for £15 a bag :) but hopefully a percentage of that going to me coz its my idea...................i just made it up and you are all my witnesses. If i make a fortune out of this idea i am willing to give each member a free bag of spray unifinish when you send me the reciept for £14.50 + VAT............**** its been done, What about a free shower? Na its a plasterers forum so what do you recon i should give as a prize (one each).
