I’m using board most of the time as it’s nearly a quid cheaper.

A bottle of wine a week I suppose!

So why is board finish still available if multi is supposedly suitable for boards?

Board is aimed at Low to medium suction backgrounds while Multi is aimed at medium to high suction. Multi is fine on boards as its a gypsum product but it tends to hang a bit longer than board finish.

Not so fast, boy wonder. You forgot to mention the variables! How old the dust is, working in warm/cold temps. The speed of the plasterer. It all adds up

With Bonding. Ok for a board or 2. Anyone else done it?

Yeah, it's fine as long as you squirt a gob of GripFill in the bucket while you're mixing

Big money....

Pays for his phone contract.

Once worked with a kid and he stopped buying a newspaper and just read mine. . I asked why. He said its 20 p a paper which was about 2 quid a week which was 8 a month = 96 a year . He said that's his car tax for year .




And was last time I bought a newspaper

Do not measure the man by what he says, but by the step ladders he takes to work.

 

[essexandy]

Bonding sticks to bricks n boards . All in the science . I.ve been even cheekier n stuck reveals on with skim a few times

Just a few times?

His personal hygiene is carbon neutral, he just goes into the back garden with a bottle of fairy liquid he "borrowed" from a customer when it rains
Mind you, you wouldn't want to be anywhere near him during a heatwave.

First things first. Why do pe think that board adhesive is made if bonding is suitable for fixing boards? Secondly, if you are told whoever is in charge to use the wrong materials either get it in writing or make sure you have a witness to the discussion and make sure you tell them it’s wrong. Thirdly, if it’s a domestic job, do you really want to risk your reputation? We are only as good as our last job. Fourthly, who in their right minds wants to waste bonding with the current shortage of it?

Well that's two minutes of your life that you won't get back wasted Gary.

Bollox, try and pull a board off that has been fixed with bonding, even better 50/50 bonding and finish.

Staples have never been an approved method. British standard was always dabs, screws or nails through into timber.

Mixing with a drill was not an “approved method” when I was younger.

Even now it's supposed to be mixed on a low speed and for as short a time as possible. How many people stick to that?
