Crap pva

[User________removed]

Sorry to highjack the thread, a question I've been want to as @Hicky , when soaking trowels to create forced patina ( I remember you posted some pics and had it bang on) was it just vinegar you used? Cheers bud

Was vinegar and coke mate, heat it up in the microwave till its hot then put the trowel in. Make sure you degrease the trowel first else it wont be uniform.

Much appreciated, cheers bud [emoji106]

Sometimes the micro is that good it kills the suction too much Gibbo.

So your primer is £75 and your plaster is £12 a bag, you must take around 2 grand to skim a box room lol

Honestly, I don't think I could hand over £75 for a primer, I'd just give it some extra coats of pva and throw sand or s**t like that in. 75 quid, fk me

I be honest as always and sure there be some on here that remember me saying it (orangemachineman ) but used to think same tbh stu , always used bostick but tried the gyprime and loved it, says on the tub I think average 600m2 ish watered down, I not measured how far it has actually gone but feels like I had it ages and sure it's done more than stated, either that or I don't do a lot of area hey

Do u need to let it dry before skimming?

I think it would be good if it actually waters down to 4:1 etc etc but hear a lot of bad things that its only good neat

I`ve tried stabilising solution to good effect or SBR/water 50/50 but still have to PVA in both cases so would love a one size Fitz Hall method that sorts things chemically and mechanically
Also cant see anywhere that does it mail order - anyone got a link?

Big "one size" in all his glory
