Fair play, whatever works for you marra, but I regularly use the same batch to second coat. I know a lot of the lads like to use a fresh batch for their second coat, but they also trowel in their first coat and wait a while whereas I just bang it on and once I've got the walls on that I want I just turn round and second-coat everything. If I've got some gear left from first-coating I ain't fkin throwing it, so it goes on the walls. Mind you - my first coat is nice and neat................I'm great I am :RpS_thumbup:
