What would be your ideal approximate setting time for plaster
A 30 to 40 min
B 40 to 50 min
C 50 to 60 min
D 60 to 70 min
E 70 to 80 min

Honestly, I'd be more concerned about consistency of setting times, although I appreciate that substrates vary widely.

2.5hrs means both coats from sane mix

No fresh mix

Due to the full guarantee that is offered by BG satchels don’t work, who gauges the water out, how much is left in the satchet, how much blows away, to much or to little added. The only way for the guarantee to work is to have a bagged product.

Cheeky sod, we gauge our water out.

OK let me rephrase my comment, who, except Andy, gauges their water out?

Can't even remember what your question was, but if you've had a reply from The Apprentice he is a BG man.

@Roughman I did on Monday

 

[Roughman]

No idea on the Carlite tbh. One thing I’m pretty sure of is that Uni, if it ever came back would need a whole new set of instructions and a new name. It’s a shame because it was a lovely plaster to work with though.

I didn't really see a difference between uni and multi, both not as good as gyproc skim coat !

Is bg the same as gyproc???

 

[tapit]

Fair enough I didn't work much through 1st lock down due to being unwell

Think there was something going round.

Yeah, there was a nasty dose of propaganda going round and it was (still is) highly virulent.

Whats the latest on this trial plaster?

Whats the latest on this trial plaster?

It went far better than we thought it would, got lots of very positive feedback so fingers crossed it passes the other tests that need to be done.

Seems a post or two has been deleted from this thread, so now it doesn't make much sense.

No matter.

BG,
Why can't we buy /use Carlite finish, skim coat ,ect, in the UK.
I know N.ireland use it.
In lockdown I brought a pallet of skim coat, so much easier to use than multi-finish.
I'd pay £10 for a bag no problem.
You need to start selling it over here.
You probably know that most would stop using multi.???
Please let me know

What you like is made in Ireland mate not England my friend orders in bulk to his house still now he says same as you it’s better material,easier to trowel up Tbf I think he pays around same £10

 

[John j]
