You can also use easifil 45

It's stronger, but you can get bubbles if not enough preasure is applied.

Use on low suction backgrounds such as concrete. Apply like pva with a roller or brush. It's coloured, so you can see where you put it on, also only needs one coat. A lot of similar products, with diferent drying times. WBA is made by knauf and takes 2-4 hours to dry, where thistle bond-it takes...

Worth a try

Missus has some fancy light fittings which give the ilusion of bad trowel marks. Well that's what I tell her anyway

Isn't it when everything goes wronge, and you go down the pub all moody. Oh, that's a plasterers mope

You say it's smooth, could it possibley be caused by sunlight comming through the window and creating some kind of siloet(or however you spell it)?

When doing several hits at once (especialy in the summer) I find it imposible to have them all tacky. I hate it when you start to skim and only realise after laying on that a few patches were to wet and started to crack and slip down the wall.

When you're at college you do it their way, when you're on your own you'll find your own method. That's why when people ask advice everyone gives a dif answer

Imagine if they done the same to all the old buildings in this country. Older buildings have to be refurbed using similar techneques. As it's a 1905 build I'm not sure if it's the same, but worth getting a second opinion. Mum done a garage conversion and had to dig a 1m trench to take a 2x2m...
