Nothing wrong with 2 coating with the same gear I've seen lads leave a better finish one coating than lads two coating with with separate gear if your rough your rough which ever way you do it

What chegwin said ^^ I could do a house laying in same mix and one with fresh gear and I can guarantee you wouldn't know the difference in quality between them.

I don't mind travelling but......
Am I qualified to work at Aldi once I've done it though?!?!
That's the real question!!!

Large area then 2nd mix is nice and handy and fresh.
Couple of bags job then mix it all up at once.
Both finish the same IMO

Same mix who gives a fuk

 

[brimplas1]

Surely you cannot use the same mix over a keyed sand and cement???

Problem with the same mix is if you dont close in the first coat properly you will get the trowel marks bleeding through. A fresh mix is more forgiving. I've done both and I'd lean to separate mixes.

Don't leave trowel marks then?

I use to use knauf mp finish years ago when it was Fp90 and before that multi and remember that it was perfect for this as you could knock it up again when it had stiffened in the bucket to lay on second coat nice and creamy.

Yeah I was guessing that, the board work must be spot on for you to get that coverage.
A lot of the time with the s**t I have to follow I have to mix two bags up just to first coat an area of 25 to 30!!
(That's where the sponge comes in lol)

I very rarely skim anyone else's board work Tbf ,not meaning to sound like I'm blowing my own trumpet,I probably dab n tac half the amount of the site boys in a day but make sure it's tidy.

Disagree with you there pal it's the same mix so it all sets together were if you layed down with a fresh mix then yes you would have the first coat grinning through if you didn't flatten I between coats

Just my experience of using the same mix.

Just put whats left of your first mix in the fridge so it doesnt go off then back out the fridge and run drill thro it while drinking a couple of cans of beer from the same fridge (need a big fridge mind) if you drink enough you dont bother second coating so tip it down the sink or toilet and drink some more cans sponge or wet yard brush first coat and give it a once over job done !!

Just make sure you get paid up in full before you start [emoji106][emoji106]

 

[jeanclaudevangyproc]

I had a piss in my mix today as I wasn't allowed in new bathroom and I used the same mix as I didn't have enough in me for two coat bit of effort in half filling a skim bucket though I can tell you[emoji1]

As ever

If you know what you're doing,

then you know what you're doing.

Same gear for 2nd or fresh gear. Depends on suction, metreage, fiddly angles, weather access, sockets, furniture and shite in the way, every days a different day.

Mix it up!
