[Paulyboy]

Hi all..new to this.. can anyone advise please.. last 6 months or so..board finish on dabbed walls taking ages to set..texture gritty..takes ages to trowel up..leaving tiger stripes and tearing as well..anyone got any ideas?.. I know British gypsum piss about with the recipe now and again..but this stuff is brutal..ya dont even get much fat off the stuff..the amount of times it takes to trowel up..it should be like glass..yet still leaves a poor finish...unbelievable..
Anybody else having these problems?..

We stopped using it because of tigers/ tearing . An order of it turned up to site a few weeks ago by mistake so we threw it on . Exactly how you describe mate , sandy /tigers/ tearing. Was lovely to spread but finish was s**t. Tried everything no water on it , leaving it/ longer go off / all sorts. Just stick to multi from now on might take bit longer go but you always get the best finish in my opinion.
