Bubbling

[scottie5]

Are you one or two coating Scottie?

I do two coat spunky, but to be fair i lay in tight with the same mix.

I always fill my tapered edge joints as i go, only ever 4 or 5 ahead, never had any problems with shrinkage.
Had some steps to try and lose today so padded it out a bit with my first set, when i skimmed it with 2nd set it bubbled right up.

Same as and never had any issues. I can't see why it would make any difference whether you're one or two coating to be honest.

 

[scottie5]

Neither can i andy.

Does anyone know how to avoid bubbling on joints when one coat sponging finish ?

If you filling in the set before try running a wet brush over the joints just as your gauging up,

 

[KevRM]

Kev do you just lay it on without filling the joints? Have you ever had problems with the joints shrinking back?

just lay it on without filling, never had a prob with shrinkage

 

[Curry]

Can you feel the shrinkage ior is it after its been painted that you see telegraphing?

 

[Curry]

Fill them the day before and wet them down

 

[KevRM]

Fill them the day before and wet them down

good advice, only means he has to go to every job he's starting the day before he starts them :flapper:

Yer that's a bit if a bummer

 

[Spreader27]

It happens to me when I either put it in too thick or being a bit lazy on the first coat. Try to put the first coat on neater or slightly thinner (bit hard if you one coating)

What would any of that have to do with it bubbling in joints

 

[CTPlastering]

I call them blebs its wot me dad calls them , u never get them on boardwork really , i would not fill them out with the mix before , just do it as you go , done the day before is a nightmare , miss a bit or not enough water on and sucks like **** and the rest is soft and well nightmare, i just fill the joints as i go when a come comes close fill it then keep hoyin On a few trowels full then over the joint

[Frankiethespread]

I just go over the wall and fill the joints just before I first coat, never had any problems with bubbling or blistering on any of the joints on plasterboard.
