SBR for skimming

Used bond-it for years but found it didn't kill suction, blue grit even worse.

Have you tried the selco version? It’s bloody brilliant

 

[ChrispyUK]

Just interested to see if anyone has tried mate , I have a theory about the two together with a slight dilution too but will report back another day on the theory I’ll have a dabble myself first

Pva or grit?

Grit- going off on a bit of a tangent but it’s bloody brilliant!

Pva or grit?

But they do do a gd sbr

Has anyone mixed Sbr with pva and applied to surface then skimmed?

nope...

Yep

Only when needs must.

It's like an upgraded pva.

 

[MIXERMAN]

Pva and iron brew. Lovely.

What ratio of each ?
I’m gonna try a few different ones but have an idea in my head

Used SBR for first time on interior over skim yesterday. Reason I used it was I didn't like look of painted surface to be covered. Don't think it would have took (some dodgy paints out there) Stuck first coat on while SBR tacky, worked a treat held back nicely. Knocked whole room out. Tried picking a bit out today see how it's bonded, sticks like s**t. I'm impressed. Have to try it a few more times to see how it works in different situations.

I have a huge lounge ceiling to do in feb so may just SBR it as I have a tub of it kicking about in the garage

50/50 Pva and sbr. Seal and skim was talked about on here last year. Real pours surfaces I seal with gardz then Pva. Gardz will neutralise wallpaper paste but seal artex really well. Beeline do a sealer similar to old artex sealer plus loads of primer sealers on the market you can bang on. Let it dry then Pva and skim. It's whatever works for you I guess

Have you mixed them together and applied as one ?

Cracked open a pva this morning that had been in garage for about a year. Gone gluppy I reckon frost has got to it. Don't know if I should take chance on it or just throw it.

 

[Baptist2017]

Throw it. Pva is terrible to use once frost has ruined it

That's what I read.. Mix together 50/50. Don't remember if you need to add water to thin a little but I guess so. I've never tried myself.
