Probably MP75.
Side by side what would you choose to use? Bg at £7.50 a bag or mg at £6? I suppose it takes a collective effort in forcing bg to have some competition but I think there needs to be more tweaks to the batch judging by people's comments who have used it

Unless it is easier and better I don’t want to learn new plaster
Haven’t people been saying for years BG need to have competition. MG does need tweaking but it’s competition For BG at the end of the day! u can get a nice finish with it basically the same way you finish BG. And after all this BG bullshit if I have to drive to 5 merchants to get BG and 1 to get MG iam buying MG

It was cheaper when it was launched,but the virus gave them a excuse to ramp price up.
Good on then if stuff is big improvement but time will tell if it has issues,a lot of us that used uni were guinea pigs.dont know why that was withdrawn, poor sales or tech issues.

Used the bonding and the multi today! No problems at all 
Bonding could of dried quicker but wasn’t in no rush today! Bloody heats been awful
Bonding could of dried quicker but wasn’t in no rush today! Bloody heats been awfulSame problem, when doing a patch-up with a range of thickness due to uneven walls. Not too back on good back ground but s**t on uneven walls, would not use on top of Artex.
Is that b and q?

Yeh at Crewe Cheshire spoke to a guy who works there
I said what’s with the price drop
he’s said everybody coming saying it’s s**t , yeh that’s the first batch - oh is it
You’ve got the 2nd batch now a massive improvement
Well we going back to bg multi we had 10 pallets last week n it was gone in a few days- fk!!!!!!
I rang a travis today,24th August nxt drop they are getting,so they say
2nd batch basically is mate. They have just massively f**k*d up with that first batch, now most people are put off because how horrid that first stuff was. They need to turn it around some how cus they will f**k it off because they ent selling enough and then every1 will be relying of BG again!
So its pretty same process over over-skim? On pva etc?
Ye same process, just make sure fill out scrim and beads first, specially the orange or blue scrim because sometimes can show through the white finish

so a good scratch on first as above some have said wait n let that go grey First b4 u 2nd coat
Last edited:
Ye if there’s any hollows fill them first aswell, no don’t Need to let first Coat go grey. Once everything filled let that pull in for 15, then treat it as BG then once you have given it a flatten or 2 after 2nd coating so it basically looks finished, wait till it all changes colour, flick/spray a nice amount of water and it polish’s up nice.
How come you dont comment on any other threads than "make good"
I’ve commented on loads of other threads mate. This just happens to be 1 that iam getting asked questions on
Mmmmmm im not sure....any naked photos of the wife?

So it's the same process, but different at the same time. Now that's f**k**g clever.

Would you put the emphasis on the 'miserable' or the 'old'? I have to accept your first answer.
That’s a tricky 1 but let’s go with old!

Bit of a worry if you see scrim through,orange,blue,,,,,,,you 1 coating.
Na mate 2 coat as normal, didn’t all show through, just happened a couple of time’s in a couple of patch’s. So from then I have just filled out to make sure

Just use white scrim.
Ye mate I agree, If you start putting it on thick in places than others it’s seem to not like it. 2mm thickness all over. I haven’t gone straight over artex with it, I gave a artex Ceiling a tight coat of bonding, then skimmed onto the bonding.
The orange stuff just Seems better for some reason. Doesn’t always fray down the 1 side!
