No plaster!

Aye that’s correct mt. Oh did you mean multi? Sorry! I should have said it was 50 bags of easyfill 20. Love that stuff
 
If BG are seeing multi finish fly off the shelves at £30 a bag what is to stop them doubling the wholesale price?

Need some more competition IMO.
 
Im told b&q took a delivery thursday afternoon,4 pallets only.
Gone within a couple of hours
I have no idea how casper is getting it but,three lads i know say they cannot get any.

They already get plenty of flak off spreads around the country - if they were to try doubling the wholesale price (I mean even after all the virus upheaval is over), there'd be absolute carnage. They'd probably have a lynch mob of angry spreads beating a path to their door.

If they tried to double it just during the current shortage, they'd be (quite rightly) accused of rubbing the trade's nose in it, at an already difficult time.

I don't think BG would be that unwise, on either count. It'd be commercial suicide to incur the wrath of your entire customer base.

It remains to be seen if this product line turns out to be a viable alternative, but it seems there might be a bit of viable competiton for BG, in the UK:

There was a delivery of 8 pallets of multi to B&Q near me yesterday. There was a pallet of Board there last week and I took half of it.
Loads of multi in Scotland and we're still on lockdown but there's a shortage down south where you can work.

Jump in the van mate and head to Aberdeen, there's shitloads. Just don't tell anyone
Its still 2 months in date aswell so maybe its previous orders that were held up. I did think the guy was winding me up when he said 8 pallets but he said its out the back, just arrived an hour before with 6 pallets of Plasterboard.

I picked up 5 bags of Knauf Multifinish from Wickes Worthing this morning, scanned through at £19 a bag but manager reduced it to £7.50. Used some today, must say it's a bit rapid, jeez!! Says 60 minute on the bag, thought that was working time but no, literally mix/spread/finished 60 minutes. Need all need buckets now
