I had this on stairwell walls a few months back. I Pva'd it first to see would it lift or bubble. In the end I gritted it and Skimmed it the next day and I had 2 little blisters on about 50m2.

You'll be lucky to get into Oz in the next 12 months. There's Australians living abroad who can't even get back into the country at the minute and there's an 18 month waiting list. Bypass Oz and head to NZ southern island, plenty of work in Christchurch still after the earthquake flattened...

Had to fill in chases on bathroom walls in an office block yesterday. Thought I would experiment a bit and used MG quick drying bonding and easifill on top. Came out lovely, prefer it to BG Bonding it dries in an hour or less. the chases were deep and needed 2 coats. Had 8 Bathrooms finished...

Sorry I meant to say it was the PB adhesive I used not the finish. Did a bit of patching yesterday and mixed some BG bonding I had left in a bag in with the make good stuff. Worked fine and skimmed over it today with BG multi finish, which is nice to work with at the minute.

I used 6 bags of it last week, nice to mix up, smooth, workable for 45 mins or so. The MG bonding on the other hand was horrible stuff to use, took ages to go off. Trying the quick dry Bonding on Friday see how that goes.

But if you scrim the joint it also eliminates the chance of cracking, the same as the joint between plasterboard.

Cheers mate

It might be similar to Bauwer, it is a German product which the builder has never seen or used before and he was asking me if I ever used it. There is not much info on it online so it must be a new product. It goes on 10mm minimum for basecoat and 5mm for top coat. Am I right in saying it will...

PVA the bead first, bead on, scrim down both sides, bit of bonding on top of scrim then skim it. Never had a bead crack and I always say to the customer if it cracks let me know and I'll pop back and fix it.

Has anybody got any experience using this stuff. This is used as a basecoat and also a top coat. Its going to be used on new block work and concrete ceilings in an Eco house. Just wondering how it behaves, because its Lime based can you fire a load on as it won't dry as quick as S&C?

Used the Ragni Flexilite on a ceiling this morning, much prefer it to the Nela s*p*r*lex. Not as flexible as the Nela which I think is better and the blade should last longer, maybe slightly heavier but the handle is comfy. All round good trowel and Multi is nice to throw on for a change

Must of been a sore one for the Ram:sorprendido3:

Was it done by Stevie Wonder Plastering Services? I would call the Plastering police as soon as possible.

This Ragni one is the best I've used. Straight out of the box and doesn't leave any lines with the rounded corners (y)

Corner trowel is brilliant, straight out of the box, nice crisp edges and no lines. I always thought they were a cheap and cheerful brand really surprised by the quality. (y)
