The Half Time Bucket Test

I Should of put the 3rd satchet in.
But 1hr 18m from firing the generator up to finished 2 1/2 bags of multi in a smallish bedroom a little over 25m2 always in control no chasing it (y) .
Also worth mentioning its proper damp and chilly and the pallet of skim was a little bit damp aswell which probably added a few minutes on to that time.

Thanks for that. Handy to know. I was using Unifinish both yesterday and today. Love it over artex and painted surfaces. But don't second coat and finish with it. It also has the benefit of hanging for an age so you can get a whole room on in one hit. Halftime seems to get good reviews so will give it a try.

I like it. But not the plastering end of it. Used it today. Put 2 packs in with 2 bags of skim. f**k*d in on the wall one coat sponge trowel. Wet trowel . Dry trowel. 1 hour 20 min from mixing. I do 3 small sets a day. I reckon I can get a forth on. Or 3rd and get the f**k out of there.

It works a treat.
Will be handy for a smaller fast 3rd gauge and still be out the gate for pimms o'clock.
It's certainly more use then the extratime.

Would extratime mean u could put on 2 big hits and it would sit long enough to get around comfortably instead of 3 smaller ones?can really see any other use unless ur doing something really big and need it to sit for u?

That was the massive amount of half-time wastage left out of 2 and 1/2 bags and that wouldn't of been wasted had I anywhere to put it cause it was still usable when I chucked it on that bag.

The Half Time Bucket Test
 
Nearly 100quids worth of pricework skim put on at 3.30 on a Friday afternoon and still home by 5.00.
That to me is an increase cause it's a gauge that wouldn't of happened without 4quids worth of accelerator in it.
Id of been home at 3.35 instead 96 quid worse off.
