price of plaster

[claw75]

what the best price for a bag? heard B&Q selling multi £2.50 a pop ..

i think you may of heard wrong there mate, wickes is about 3,78 if u buy five

Heard or seen ?

£2.50 seems incredibly cheap to me unless they are split bags - Best I've seen at B&Q is about £3.74 when you buy 5 or more

Hello Mate
No one sells it for that and as for the split bags I would recommend not to bother as most are out of date, as the other guy said I think Wicks has the best deal on at the moment.

BnQ have upped their prices here. You used to get 5 bags for £3.74 each.
But now you need to buy ten to get them at that price
Its £4.38 for one bag.
Scandal!

i think homebase or one of em do a 'multi finish' but it aint thistle and it comes in little 5kg bags...like 5 bags a wall..??
and theyre not much different pricewise to a 25kg bag of thistle..

Tough coat has been made for the last 10/15 years or so it replaced browning HSB, for high suction backgrounds. if it grey its crap pink stuff is lovely to use, same goes for hardwall grey=crap, pink= great

 

[nicksey1401]

yeh and hopefully theyll replace tough coat with something else!............does it serve a purpose that h/wall doesn't?

 

[topmark]

Noticed the Pink: OK , Grey: Crap link, whats the actual difference, anybody know? :-/

 

[nicksey1401]

different mines mate....... ..i think

 

[bigsegs]

they reckon the reason our skim is pink and knauf is white is cos ours has clay as an impurity...suppose its prolly the same for hardwall...
