I never tried MakeGood bonding, after hating their multi so much, but I've seen/heard quite a few people saying that their bonding is usable.

If you mean on top of existing plaster to straighten it up no.
If you mean on to block or brick to control the suction only use a weak mix, don’t kill the suction or you will have problems.

[Steve Brown]

I’ve used the make good fast set bonding and it’s nice to use, can’t comment on on their regular bonding.
Used their adhesive as well which had no problem with but it sets twice as fast as BG, Knauf etc.

It will vary from week to week, I went in B&Q and they were asking me when they’d get some

Strange you say that the builder I work for had to wait 6 weeks for roof tiles when they turned up they were dated October and the driver actually said they have loads of these tiles they always have I can’t see why you waited so long lol
Very very clever guys you hold on to materials complain of shortages and keep pushing prices up you greedy fucks

I could be wrong, but I don't think Gary gets a share of any price hikes.

 

[spunky]

I just mean them all in general Andy strange when you see a little boom in construction you see loads of bullshit excuses of how material prices go up
