Hey kirk I think they want to use thistle durafiish now funnily enough but, i cant see if it will go onto painted brickwork, may have to use bont-it ,also the coverages are based on 2mm. I would have expected to use a more substancial product but... who am i.

 

[kirk johnstone]

its a finishing plaster mate to go over a back coat plaster or a board

 

[plasterjfe]

yeah thats what i recon but it could be used over tidy masonry with bond-it maybe. they are doning it on site now onto the in situ concrete - bond-it, 24hrs, then multi finish direct skim

you cant get keenes anymore can you?

 

[kirk johnstone]

nope dont think so

Durafinish is that a new one or has it been out a while its the first time i have seen it?

its quite new mate, they also do high impact boards

Run the spec for the durafinish by BG and they confirmed thislte bond-it 24hr drying obviously bonding coat and then skim with durafinish. the durafinish is no good for painted masonry.
see now i would sooner use a polymer render at 10mm one coat job done.

what about marmorit sockel dicht plasterjife

 

[plasterjfe]

yeah i will price up all options now grand, its easier to go with a render because less installation time plus thistle durafinish is around £9 odd per bag. still only covers around 10m2
