Ok thanks marshy! I'm using the rotband haftputzgips as my bonding coat I quite like it actually, it's almost identical to what we use back home. So now hopefully I can source some mp finish and I'm good to go. If not what's the knauf multi like?

Lads I can't find anywhere that stocks mp finish in either germany or switzerland. It seems to be more aimed at the UK market. Manos any idea where I can get it? I can get knauf multi finish, expensive though at 30 odd euro's a bag but the Swiss clients won't mind haha!

Thanks lads! I'm going with your recommendations, I've got a nice big basement area in my house to try out the different products. I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers!

Anyone got any experience of using goldband as a skimcoat? An old timer recomended it saying he used it as skim and it troweled up nice???

I live in schaffhausen 20 mins from the border where I can get to Singen and right on the border of Jestetten. Manos you should look into doing some work in Switzerland, seems there is a bit of a building boom going on especially in this area. Myself I've just been doing a bit of private work...

Thanks for all of the replies. Looks like I've got a few products to test out to see which works best for me.

i live in switzerland and am close to the German border. I'm looking for a hand applied plaster that trowels up as good or as close to Bg multifinish as possible. I will be buying all of my materials in Germany. I'm really struggling to find the correct products here, please help???
