One Coat Plaster

[NRM2007]

How do Fella's
I've not used this stuf before and fancy giving it a go, can it be used in the same way as Multi or Board Finish as in re-skims, Plasterboards, Artex, PVA, WBA etc.......... I am gonna be skimming my toilet room out at home in the next few weeks so was gonna give it a go in there, and I've got a kitchen to do for my mate over Artex. Any pointers etc.... Much appreciated. Cheers Neil.

its more of a backing plaster than a skim plaster Neil , you put it on just like a backing plaster rule it off etc then float it up and trowel it up .

OK, Thanks Church. Never see anybody using it, presumably there's not really much need to use it over say hardwall and skim??????

 

[church]

its more of a big site type of plaster mostly sprayed on ,have a look on you tube put in mp75

I'll have a gander at that mate, thanks. Don't think I'll bother with it in my bathroom ...lol

 

[spunky]

have a look if it says anything about minimum thicknesses mate

 

[NRM2007]

Will do, I'll have a look see if I can see ewt on their website, I had a look on youtube, there is plenty of vids on there about it but it tends to be as Church sez all sprayed onto new blockwork, ruled off and trowelled up.

As has been said 1 coat render is the same as projection so finish it the same as you would machime plaster i use quite a lot of it by hand and it realy needs to be no less than 5mill thick to get a good finish but more is better
