Could it be if they're gonna bring the machine there to do the concrete walls they may as well spray all of them ? And why the double layer with scrim (or whatever it is) inbetween ?

So for whatever reason, I've found myself having bought a new flat in a country a long way away from the UK. The way they sell flats here is without any furnishings at all, no electrics, no plumbing except the meters. The floors/ceiling are concrete and the stud walls are plasterboard with the...

Yet another DIYer scared off the forum. Is the idea generally to ensure they always pay for a plasterer? Its not a great one really because the numbers being persuaded here will be tiny compared to the overall market for those needing theirs walls/ceilings skimmed etc.

As ever, thanks so much for your friendly help.

Hello All As it says really - wallpaper is now off and what is left is quite sticky/tacky when it gets wet. Most of it is sealed with paint so I would guess it wouldn't suck that much. Question is are both coats of PVA still needed? Maybe just the first one to seal it all in 100%. What would...

"Buy it now" multifinish now as low as £8 on ebay. Won't be long before these profiteers are forced to sell at a loss. I reckon we'll start to see in date stuff at £5 before long...

Sorry for extra post but just looked at this c*nts feedback. He's sold 6 bags for £200 at the peak of the pandemic and lots of other sales also!!!! How to make a profit off people dying just ask this t**t.

Well, I finally got my 1 bag of multi. Yes 1 bag is all I've needed for the past 6 months and been denied by the T***s reselling it. Interestingly, my local Wickes showed zero multi for weeks but I was there yesterday for another reason and they actually had around 3 pallets and nobody was...

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. There's no more plastering going on than this time last year and the supply is the same, so all those hoarders and reseller cnts are going to be stuck with a load of s**t they can't sell. Best bit, they'll need to pay to dump it - tips don't like gypsum much...

I've got the fatmax levels and am happy with them. HOWEVER, I've also got a fm tape measure which broke fairly quickly under light use over about 9 months. I don't mind paying good money for a good product, but annoys me when getting crap. Will not be buying FM for anything anymore.

Just hope things get back to normal before the lockdown2 shuts the factory again.

That would explain why WIckes is showing that my nearest available multifinish is in Scotland. I'm near London.

I'd only take 1 because that is what I need. Then again I don't pretend to be a plasterer by talking about my "guvnor" etc.

Just wondering why it says I'm a new member when I joined over a year ago?

Just where is he getting it from ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thistle-MultiFinish-Plaster-25-kg-5-Pallets-In-Stock/274433803763
