Light brown on ceiling of a garage conversion, I take it its fireboard. Never skimmed a board that colour before.

 

[stuart23]

What boards are light brown then? Joiner said it was old fireboard.

You sure it's just not the brown side of the ordinary pb?

 

[GrantyBoy]

Never saw brown fire boards, the back end of normal sheets are kinda brown.....

 

[flynnyman]

Sounds like they are normal board on the wrong way round they will pull in like f**k and I mean like f**k lol

 

[GrantyBoy]

I've skimmed boards brown side down a few times. Never noticed any difference in suction.

 

[stuart23]

Told you it was a stupid question. The paper feels quite smooth to touch and nothing like normal pb. New one on me, will unifinish it lol

I never seen a brown fibreboard it's got to be back of a board

Can you see the bound edge that wraps around the edge of the board???

Any writing on the board?


If in doubt blue grit and skim any. Be fine.

Can't see bound edge, it's like a shiney light brown, joiner said it was an old fireboard.

Sure it's not just nicotine stains

 

[thebearbeef]

Sure its not just 6mm ply

Just take one down and see whats on the other side.

 

[stuart23]

Nope, it's a newly converted garage with brand spanking window, door, electrics with fresh plasterboard on walls and a light brown plasterboard ceiling. Never saw anything like it before. The ceiling was the original ceiling and it is not upside down, the only other answer is it's a normal board that has been up so long it's discoloured.

They are probably plank boards which had rounded edges and no need to scrim in theory before skiming, they were usually in 2.4 x 600 @ 19mm thick. Just prime them with betakontakt or micro (watered down) then skim.

 

[Donzo]

Yes,you can skim fire board.straight on.

 

[beader]

Do plasterers .......really need the internet to solve these problems?.

 

[Arti]
