quickest way to get multi to set?

[johniosaif]

small jobs are a nuisance, it takes the same setting time as a full hit, I have added cement on occasion ,used dirty water etc, any really clever ways to skim over a small bit of s/c .. wind ups to a minimum please...thanks

Leave the multi in a bucket to soak for about 15 mins b4 whisking,

Dirty water saved in a sealed tub week + old. Just don't mix with hardwall or it will go off before you get it out the bucket!

If you want to finish an hour early, start an hour early :RpS_thumbup:

Year out of date skim is the fastest way, 2 coats & trowelled up in 10mins no joke!

Yeah no dirty water with hardwall or bonding it f**ks them right up!
