no. had a 40 sq/m ceiling and rolled it. really noticed the difference with the extratime. went like a dream. can see it making a difference with some of the jobs i do. good price as well.

Cool I thought it was good I know other's say they use cream of tar I never used that but heard it works.
 
Ive used cream of tartar. Works for me. But sometimes it makes the gear a bit too greasy. Maybe I used too much. I like this because it's standardized. A sachet per bag, half a sachet half a bag etc The price is nothing. It doesnt look anything like cream of tartar, either, it's granular.

wish someone would come up with some scrim that doesnt fray around the edges. i know you can score it but should you have to in this day and age? if someone invented that and didnt overprice it it theyd clean up.

yep agree with that... a paper cut with scrim tape is agony as well

Are u sure about only putting it in the first mix?i had a look and couldn't see where it said that.If it is in the laying in mix that would give even more time I would of thought.
 
As you got more time with second coat, wouldn't you only struggle with big set just on the first?

you can just use it in the first coat if you want.but you get a lot more time if you use it in both just depends on how big an area your trying to cover.we all have different speeds

I'd be doing 90mph towards the offy ffs:birra:

Yeah dirty waters ok for patches etc, but i'm on about a couple of small walls or 1 ceiling etc just small jobs you know the ones where that's all there is to do there, so you end up waiting ages for it to go off ffs especially this time of year :mad:

Not my fault old Doris wants 1 wall skimming for £2500, all I want is just get it on trowel up & fcuk off :bananahappy:

"Amazing product, just what I needed on a job that would normally have required 2 men. Did an 18sqm wall single handedly without any drying issues. Easy to use and great results.



Wowwww there andy boy...you getter just calm down fella! end up in an early grave at this rate.
