So after using speedy to flatten yesterday . I thought i bet I could get away with one coat today.
So off I when few questions. Is it best with tapered boards and when you go over scrim do you let it set or get over it wet. I went over it when it had pulled right in and got a few blisters.
Plus side I started after lad and I.m done 40 mins before him

Tapered boards I would fill all the tapes and when it starts to stiffen up hit it all. If it’s dried then a coat of pva if needed

The camera doesn't lie John, that wall was plastered by a robot not you.

Not telling yerr get foooked!

Everyone calls me & @algeeman ruff though we tell you all every day piece of piss to 1 coat on plaster boards!!!
 
I do know a spread who 1 coats board and by 1 coat I mean 1 . Not laying down same mix like posh c**ts me n zombie.

I have tried it and done it in small areas but for me, skim pulls in fast on board so is less hassle to just lay it down. Perhaps i put it on to thin to warrant 1 coat.

I’ve also been quicker on board against a spread who 1 coated and sponged it up. By the time he filled all the joints and beads. I was laying mine down.

Each to their own

There must be a reason 80% 2 coat. the theory of 1 coat is the joints get filled first so they end up 2 coated. There’s a reason for that. But the structual integrity of 2 proper coats is stronger thus less likely to crack. I think!??

It's prob had two on tape . I think cracking down to a lack of dots one edges.......
 
You no what John I've had just about enough of spending an extra three hours away from my kids when I can achieve not far off the same finish and get home handy.
Two coats same bucket speeds Kim straight after 1st coats laid in then crack on as normal jobs a good un I'm done and off home now

Right I’m trying this tomorrow. One good coat . Speed skim then steel trowel. Do I fill any beads out first ?
 
Someone shown me how to one coat onto boards years ago . I started doing it and it looked mint . Can’t remember why I went back to 2 coating . Maybe it was some s**t boarding I had to cover or some reskimming . Anyway gonna give it a bash again tomorrow just on the board and two tight coats with same stuff on the pva walls .
