I told our Jewsons manager that if any pallets turn up with the pink shite in the boards they won't be coming off the truck.
So far it seems to have worked.

Ahmen exactly!!!

Why the f**k should we have to pay a premium price for a differeny product just so we can actualy finish it!

Im all for paying more for the pure bla bla bla hippy vegan lesbian air puraties bothers some F*****g weirdo customer thats forgot to tek there tampon out bit not so it can be bought to be used as multi or board should be!

Its a F*****g liberty there a set of robbing c**ts!

And just to add thsts fine if you supply & fit and you gave the option to pass cost or tae the hit yourselves.

But some poor f**k**s have to use whats supplied and usualy a lot of it a day!

end of the day it all comes down to price and who is gonna cover the cost of paying extra? All well and good on your little 3 bag jobbers but when your getting pallets delivered to site the price difference is pretty big and that will have to be shown in your quote
 
They’re painting the wall while ur laying in so just chuck it on n f**k off to next plot site monkey

True. But the finish doesn’t matter on site so no need for superior finishing product

I don't know what sort of sites you've worked on Mr. Mole, but I can assure you that those that I've worked on cared very much about the finish. And that's not to mention all the big 'one off' properties (sites).

Cheaper to pay the decorator to sand then pay a decent firm.

Jokes aside I guess this product is really aimed at the domestic market

Bit odd that a product aimed at domestics should need to be ordered by the pallet load don't you think? Well obviously as an insider you'd know the true answer to that.

Interesting this. Educate mE.

So lets say you have 400 plots in an unsavoury post code are. Will they get in cheapest firm?

But I’d have said 8 milly house they’ll pull in a well paid gang known for a quality finish ?

First off, thanks to @BritishGypsum for hooking me up with some pure finish. Credit where credits due.


Pure Finish

Mixed up bag n half. Powder feels finer. Nice n creamy mix.

Job was over-skim painted n old plaster walls some areas bonded.

First coat on, nothing to report here. Laid down with same mix. All good.

Moment of truth. Started to flatten with Marshalltown stainless, it’s at this point I could tell this was nice gear. Flattened nicely.

Trowel up same trowel very nice no rips tearing or anything. First time I used it n miss timed so used little water to finish but still nice no problems.

Second gauge same again but finished with no water just wet blade. Very impressed.

Conclusion. It’s very nice gear and the sets were around 2 hours as you don’t need to f**k about with it it finishes really easy. Ran plastic trowel over at end and it all felt like glass.

It sets fast but gradually. Doesn’t flash on you. It’s basically setting like multi-finish but in fast forward.

Will I use it again. Absolutely, already contacted them.

Can’t be arsed to debate the politics that board n multi should be as good as this. We upgrade our phones all the time for the latest more expensive models without crying. All phones work but some work better.

That’s how I’m looking at it. Sometimes board n multi is nice. Sometimes shite. Can always get a finish but sometimes it’s a stress. A stress I don’t need . So if there’s a superior product for a little bit more money I’m all for it.

Also u c**ts should give @Vincey credit for having the balls to try new products. They can’t all be great but I think this one just might be.

You'd think they'd give the trial products to people who know what they're doing, wouldn't you?
