Only £7 a bag so not much more. Makes my life abit easier and customers paying anyway

Selco wanted £10 a bag near me. Yes the customer pays for it but they might not want to pay you for a month.

Christ, that's alot. £399 for a pallet of 56 bags from Travis Perkins near me. Not much over a quid a bag more than multi. Customer wouldn't even notice the difference in the quote

Yes everything is a rip off in there if you just go and pick it up and take it to the till with no account, but no tradesman is going to do that. Same at every builders merchant
 
I haggle right to the bone and get amazing discounts with local merchants, I know I'm a right pain to them but they all know it's in good faith and banter

Must be a Surrey thing prices! But even so I wouldn’t go out my way to get pure finish unless some one specifically wanted it. Iv had more problems with board finish.

Always bring a heater with me if it’s to cold on my little willy. I used pure multi and board finish on this house. multi was best in my opinion.

Just finished a freezing house and had no issues. On next one which has some heaters in plus my heaters and had issues with multi. Think it's just bad gear sometimes as I've had it a few times and it behaves exactly the same everytime it happens.

Goes on fine, lays in fine. Go to flatten and it tears and pulls. Get it reasonable but it's like fully set in patches and piss wet in others........... took a video

So you say multi best .....@lurpak

I don't think there is a best, I think sometimes the gear can be faulty or as @Gibbo said before, the way the merchant stores it. Maybe theres pallets left outside in rain or something.. f**k knows.

i find board finish really gritty

Painted wall pva n skim lol. do it 6 days a week but only have a problem every now n then. had gear tested lasttime came back faulty and had a bag taken today for testing again. Do wonder about the merchant storage tho if it can ruin the gear
