I when struggling to mix up once where I was doing same way I had done for years was going really stiff so add a splash it went really wet bit of powder it went stiff again so I tried the 11.5 what it said on the bag and at 3/4 of a bag it just spun the bucket that’s no way near enough water imo

You know what’s mental is when you start looking for things and how it’s different if you struggle ect you seem to hit 20 bags of the best gear you have had in years lol it’s like if you got a rash book drs when appointment comes the rash has gone

[algeeman]

Did you use the bags today on that plot from the garage

What’s the verdict

approx 45m on
no difference to be honest

 

[algeeman]

about 20 boards skimmed on just under 60m i think flattend down fine....sat waiting around its not down to storage.
then again board finish seems fine not sure with multi.

Plaster didn't used to look streaky like that @Vincey .

I.ve never read back of a bag of plaster lol

 

[zolco]

Doesn't seem to be a big problem with the multi, not many people complaining about it

 

[Simon85]

Surely it would be very thick a bag, to that much water. Pure rubber to coat?

its thicker than I like to be be honest but it is not far off

 

[Vincey]

Used some multi and board finish today, tbf the board finish dried slightly quicker , I can’t complain tbh , I’m gonna take some pictures tomorrow to see if it looks “streaky “ or not

I honestly don't care how quickly it dries, that's for the decorator to worry about.

I've had an email from my contact at BG today just to say that my previous email has been passed up the food chain.
I was also asked to bump this thread in an attempt to get any of you that are having issues to do as asked and take some back to your merchant.

Well now that's done; don't forget you can still enter @Olican 's many and varied charity draws.

Great odds of winning too..
