Did a huge hit on my own. Did it in stages over three days blending in. Took my time and put a very diluted pva coat on the seams where it gets polished by feathering in. Customer painted it and emailed to say very pleased with it. Was a good job, enjoyed it.

If your worried get some body's In to share the pain.
A problem halfed Is a problem solved.
Depending on price , get 4 spreads on a Saturday morning to get it on and a lab falling behind them.
Even if it only sticks a extra £100 in your back pocket, the job will be done. Onto the next!

Well how many meters do you get out of a bag?
I usually lay on 2mm then a tight one to lay it down
Maybe 3.5 bags then

Each to there own
You must mix it like water to get it on that tight

Cuts the set time down as well!
I used to be generous on both coats but forever waiting for it to pull
Started putting it in a bit tighter and hit the sweet spot for me!
The thing with being generous on both coats is it tricks you as it stays wet for ages but then ll of a sudden it will go and your chasing your tail
U get alot of that black grit tho gibbo? Hate putting it on thin because of that

Seen a spread finish it wet before, well semi dry basicly finished it 20 mins before the normal final closing trowels. absolutely flawless finish, dryed evenly and there was no tiger marks.
Its been my goal for a while to finish it the way he did but I think I'm too scared to lay off the final couple of trowels.

I can't see how you could get over the skim and dodgy boarding with 2mm
i price jobs and they spec 2mm skim on board but half the time it's 4mm to get over everthing

I'm with you on this one, I lay in with p1ss wet gear, get great coverage out of a bag and use very little water rubbing up. Someone called me a clown for describing this technique yet my work when painted looks rather ok
