brush or roller

[S a plastering]

what do you prefer when putting on bonding agent i find putting that gear on the grit can clump together in places

 

[bodplasterer]

We use a roller just try and put it on in smaller strokes brush is too messy, well so is a roller but if its on a pole it keeps it away form you.

roller pva, don't use bond-it, F*****g hate the stuff

 

[PhilPlaster]

Same as Steve. Roller n pva

 

[church]

i prefer the wickes stuff don't clump and its easier to skim over

 

[beddy]

whats wba like church? like i said i dont like bond it but i'd be willin to try that instead of pva

 

[bodplasterer]

If you mix it up with you drill before you apply it dont clump so much and like i said apply it in smaller strokes and it stays more even

 

[church]

Its only a little bit different the grit is finer and it spreads easier, oh and its pink

 

[beddy]

whats the prices like compared with bondit and pva? and why do you think its better than pva?

 

[roughas]

Its about £15 for 3kg which is about 2 and a half litres ,it creates a better key for plastering

 

[iain_flanagan]

give bondit a mix round every couple of roller fulls stops all the grit sinking to the bottom

 

[Nisus]

Pva & sand much cheaper ;D
