How long have you been plastering?

About 30 years.Started mixing browning in a bath in site work,mixing finish in a bucket with a stick and posser.Helped with boarding,got decent at it.Started trowelling up walls for bloke I worked for.Carried in from there,got a nvq from a night course at college.A lad had someone let him down,for this job,so I said I would help him out It's a garage conversion no idea why he boarded it ,in moisture boards.Was hearing mixed messages on whether to use PVA,SBR,grit before skimming,so am asking on here.Thanks is that enough info

I guess you've never read the specs on the back of a bag of multi then?

 

[Steve Brown]

You can but have to PVA it first.
Pointless using moisture board if it's getting plastered, defeats the point.

I've always found that board finish behaves better on moisture boards than multi does.

Sticks better and dries harder.

Adjust timings.

Well you’re a feisty little cherub ain’t you!
30yrs and zero knowledge gained.


Go straight on them you bender, put plenty on or you’ll be standing around with your finger up your arse……………. Wait, maybe you’ll enjoy it more?

 

[essexandy]

You definitely shouldn't be skimming straight on to moisture boards, anyone who does is a chancer. BG Bondit or similar, Microgobetis is my favourite.

That's actually in the specs......very few in the trade nowadays work to that principal though just chance their way through life.

 

[spunky]

Andy’s right no one does though never ever heard of it failing

Should be pretreated with (BG head) Thistle Bond-it for adhesion. Pretty pointless skimming onto MR board as you are introducing gypsum to a moisture resistant material. I’ve seen a lot of failures, mainly above the shower due to the steam. Another thing to consider is the weight of the tiles which can pull the plaster away from the boards.

that shouldn't be an issue for a site slag though should it?

If someones moaning about the cost of materials to do the job correctly you are either not pricing up right or you need to work for better clientele and fk the HMO's off in Bradford.
