    Plastering a large ceiling in two parts

    Run scrim right across where you want to join. Just before last trowel pull it off and scrape off any residue from under the scrim. Skim upto finished part. Tight coat of filler on joint and sand.

    9.5mm board ooooh! Why? It should only be used for patching old 9.5mm walls and ceilings. 12.5mm is the minimum for regs now.

    If you go on you tube it shows you can render on it. I used it to tile over tile with big tiles on my own bathroom. Best bonding agent by far.

    Advice on plastering shower feed pipe.

    A standard board with a coat of SBR is more waterproof. Water resistant is a way to make people pay more. If they get damp they snap over you back when you pick them up same as standard board.
