I sad enlighten us, to the point you said you know why the rest of us do not like it or use it ???

Because if it's anything other than it's too expensive and saves absolutely no time, in fact takes longer on artex ceilings to go off than pva and multi. Then it's bullocks

Because if you only give it a few goes with it you will bin it.
It took me at least 5 separate occassions until i had a system that it was beneficial to me.most guys want it to work straight away and thats not unreasonable.
So i know why you hated it,,,,,i had the same expierence you had.

You can't really make a comparison on another wall every wall is different, why do you think you had 15 2inch square pockets going off? Maybe it was the PVA? I've used the gear on board and pre grit and it was beautiful gear to use reminded me of carlite, the White bits seemed odd but I didn't panic. Like Gibbo said its skimming and its skim its f**k**g simple, touch it or run your trowel across it and you will know if you know. I've not used it for its purpose ie over skimming artex and the reason for that is I always overboard, I don't even use multie :) thought I would pop in xx

My experience is that pva and multi is cheaper and quicker so how will that change using it again ?
As vince will tell you I've used it twice on artex, it takes less than 5mins to pva an average ceiling, my method is this, sheet up and scrape back and glue then get gear in water etc by which time it's good to go.
Using uni the ceiling still needs prepping i.e. Scraping back so all you numptys who say its quicker are only fooling yourselves and leaving yourself out of pocket, but hey crack on ( if you can fine anywhere that stocks it lol )

Not sure why you thought that no one is interested, and btw more bullshit it's not available at any merchant in U.K. Lol. I agree they may be able to order in if you buy a pallet but that's it, it's not being stocked lol

Not readily though and only if you buy bulk, I've said before domestic spreads buy mostly from wickes and b&q neither stock it really which means it's doomed. Do @BritishGypsum listen to us ? No wickes and b&q have listened we don't need or want this over priced product.

Now your talking bullshit

In Basingstoke we have homebase, wickes, b&q, travis perkins, jewson, buildbase and magnets. None of em stock it. I'd try it if they did.

gps said:
Uk wide I'd be surprised if for 1000 multi sold 1 bag of uni is sold
Click to expand...
Agree.....probably not even that, probably not even close...still can have a niche place in the market though
 
Cornelius said:
I'd still like to give it a go on the jobs where I've got a painted artex ceiling to skim, but no where near me stocks it. The nearest place that does it is in Exeter 20 miles away

Hi Cornelius, thanks for your feedback on stockists of UniFinish. Thistle UniFinish is available through our normal stockists but not all branches take it. If you let us know exactly which merchant and branch you normally use and your contact number, we will look into this for you with them. Thanks
