WTF is "high impact" plaster? 
Stops a 50 cal? Hammer bounces off? Slight knock from furniture? Withstands a meringue thrown by a baby? Takes an assault by RWF007 in his puffa jacket?
Enquiring minds need to know.

Even if some has been on since Monday pal? Ive heard it takes a age to go off
even if you leave backing for a week no need for damping down , apply first coat and wait until touch dry before you top,then let top pull in before you touch it again, it won't polish up and its deffo matt finish, bit like mp finish as in you can keep it soft if you want

Dont bother wetting back coat mate it hangs all day on a 30mm thick base.
When I first used it I thought something was wrong with the amount of time it takes to pull. I've layed sand cement on thicker onto thick damp scratch coats and its dryed faster.
Just lay on what you can and move on to another wall.

The longer you leave the backing the longer the skim takes to set we found out I didn't think you could go to that depth with it? Anyway tip for skim chuck a couple handfuls of board or multi in with finish sets up quicker but don't put too much in as it will turn pink [emoji106]

We had to use the lime lite slurry coat first and put a 10mm scratch coat on leave it a day or so and another 10mm topper scratched to receive the skim, compel of days later when it's ready knock the skim up leave it 5 mins remix and was spot on we could spread a lot as in a complete down stairs before it started pulling two coat it and use as little water as possible [emoji106]

Don't use pva, will kill breathability and be less flood efficient.

I was told by contractor the spec from limelight at those depths is 25 mm pass the eml fixed with mushroom fixings then another and repeat till desired depth is reached passed on the job after that
Tbh mate cudnt care less wat spec says on owt if isn't my own job..foreman points to gear and says that goes on there bye bye..aslong as its rite and I get paid Il save spec sheet for wiping my arse if run out of paper..a spec sheet says alot of things that r pointless

Was just saying like... Still love me kitchy?! Did the manager fork out what you wanted then
Wil always luv u builderboi..ye he's giving us wat we wanted but last day 2day as plastering contractor we are doing job for isn't vat registered and we are so he said he cant claim vat so we r not doing it..fair to say I'm not that bothered..typical as price just been agreed came in this morning and said dont throw any bags away so we can count them at end of day..wheres the trust man
Used this over the correct backing coat over a slurry mix onto bare brick that had been wetted with a light SBR mix after injected dpc. Had to scratch a first coat then render out next day for thickness, skim coat went on lovely but hung about like a bad smell. Lesson- Do not try to one coat the skim, 2 coats is a must.
Do not use too much water on it.
Do not rush it, be patient.
Trowelled up nicely -----eventually.
For smallish damp-proofing work S/C+waterproofer & multi is easier to predict, but limelight only needs a bucket and whisk and when you get used to it it is OK.
