Okay I want to actually know what the hell is going on with multi finish it is definitely not the same. It's behaving like my trowel hasn't worn in yet, tears slightly on final trowels?? Feels stodgy, gluey, seems gritty and coarser than normal.
My question is most of my work is overskim can I just fu*k multi off for good and use board finish instead never had trouble with board finish but have only used on board???

Multi is not good at present. Best hope is to 1st coat very neatly, flatten it & wait. 2 coat laid on very neat too. Flatten it. 1st trowel it. Finish it with 2mm plastic
Not ideal but the latest stuff will tear with a firm final metal trowel. Tgeres
 
Only ever had 2 bad bags , both occasions not bought and stored by me
 
I was skimming last week have to say really enjoyed the change as been outside for while ,was artex overskim used thistle gyprime over the artex before skimmed with board finish was fine

I've got 1998 for some reason, back then we did a lot of rough casting (2'n'1 squad). Must have jumped back on plastering cos the job was bonding float and multi.

Multi isn't that old, was still carlite finish 1989. Was using it into the mid 90's.

You're older than me you'll have used carlite finish if you didn't that would be odd

Well if it was I can't remember using it , think I've had to put on board finish about one wall ,
 
Was told grey hardwall was just different mine area at the time , perhaps they were mixing Wrigley's even back then lol

Can't remember carlite finish very odd. I'm 52 and would be surprised if spreads my age hadn't used carlite finish.
