Crap batch of plasterboard? Recycled? Pink and rubbish to cut

[MattP1987]

Hi guys
Been doing some boarding today and noticed some of the plasterboards I got are light pink in colour in side.
They are horrid to cut and every cut needs a wrasp down even with my new gadget plasterboard cutter!
Has anyone else heard or had this?
Heard of rumours that BG are recycling gypsum plaster and using it in plasterboards?! Is this the case?
So annoying! The boards seemed just as strong and were not damp.
Thanks
Matt

Boards started going bad about the same time the multi did. Definitely recycled shite put through both..prices keep rising whilst the quality keeps dropping.

I've have noticed multi changes often and is not very consistent at all. Can be grainy one day and the next greasey!
Never came across this with plasterboards.

I will have to try that tick John. Does it slow the set as much as extra time or just enough to lay on another smallish wall ex?

With those BG boards it can also set the skim off as there seems a lot of suction, I don’t use them now.
