Yes we used to plain around door casings to recieve skim after hardwall or tough coat or a quick tweak up the float beads

I've bought as many rolls as everyone else put together.

No I went all modern and use 25mm drywall screws barely through the float. Not that I ever get to float with s&c anymore unfortunately.

Seems to be all but gone , my last desent

Good afternoon chaps I’ve just sand cemented a couple walls which had issues with damp , the customer put KA tanking slurry on a while ago , I scratch coated it yesterday & put top coat on today & rubbed it up . My question is what finish coat to put on it . A friend I know who’s an old school plastered very good to be fare said to me British gypsum guide lines recommend to leave it 28 days before applying finish coat . My mate prefers Thistle board finish over multi as it tends to shale if it doesn’t dry out completely . I was going back Monday to skim it . Any advice I’d be grateful. Thx in advance.

I would of haced old sand cement harled whith lime so it breathable false wall whith insulated board hit miss vent. I would only use tanking as last resort!

I’ve seen it shell off when the painter has started rolling the walls,

Yep so have I, but it's not caused by lack of key.

Of course it is

If a backing coat is just flattened off with no mechanical key , the finish wil fail eventually

A wall with as much mechanical keys as poss is far better than one with misses everywhere! A continuous figure 8 should be applied,I'm not saying a deep key but a run over everywhere.comparing plasterboard and sand and cement..f**k me this place its full of cowboys..yeeeee harrrr

There's absolutely loads of stuff I have no idea about, but sand and cement floating is something I do know what's what.

Don’t take any s**t from Dick Billy Branston you Gudgeon tickler...I’m counting on you!

fun fact: even though a plasterboard is flat and 'smooth' it's actually the many 1000's of very fine fibres on a plasterboard that give you the key for your skim
