I thought it was base you can use it as a finish outdoors rubbed up obviously but you use a Lime putty on top indoors unless you’re rubbing up coarse

We had to use sponges. Should be ok was just a battle. Its a waste of money really . As they sealed walls anyway and are painting with a non breathable paint not the stuff your meant to use. Project manager said his wife search internet and foung this. We.ve told him to get pure finish lol. Ex joiner
 
Been back today . Really surprised how good it looks. Bit bumpy kn places but could be old walls. I did have hallogen light blasting down dark corridor to box room .
Anyway gonna have another pop tomoz so if any ones got any pointers tips be grateful. Were only using the finish at about 3 mm.

Should i just 1 coat it
Prob i had last time was i could only finish it with sponge and your meant to finish with trowel .

All help appreciated

How thick are you applying mate I’m wondering if it’s going on to thick and what are you applying it onto ?
basically I just trowelled on embedded mesh left it for a while then flatten a few times , very soft slightly damp fine finishing sponge to finish, maybe get some heaters in there too might help

thanks for the reply, its on wood fibre insulation board, 2 coats, mesh embedded into first coat, each coat around 5mm as they have supplied 10mm plastic beads, basically following their guidelines and videos on timings etc, struggling to get a trowelled finished in one day, we have one coated and meshed today and will apply second coat first thing in the morning and see if it works any better that way. thanks again for your time.

I’d drop to a thinner coat mate on the fibre boards I can’t understand why they saying ten mm even a normal thincoat skim bead will be fine and the mesh can still be embedded at that , roughly 3mm total maybe give that a try slightly thinner on a wall
