WTF is going on n with multi-finish

Pissed off now. Board or re-skim it’s been a f**k**g nightmare! Drying all over the place, grainy and gritty as f**k. Absolute ballache to finish it. Got 4 walls on and sweating now. It’s like dry and wet at the same time cannot even explain it.

Anyone else!?

Might switch to board finish as they constantly f**k about with multi
i switched back to board finish about a year ago after i had the same thing happening to me with multi never been happier

Is that where you hang out?

There is a few people agreeing with me here... are they all apprentices too?

Just keep your head up pal. Few more years and you'll be out the cupboards doing bottoms of walls for a proper spread.

dont take the bait mate theres a lot on here who think they are rocket scientistsITS ONLY A JOB
 
Lol says the man who can’t skim a wall.

Thats how my day started. Was only a double bedroom skim should have been at pub by 1. Ended up there til 2 with the ceiling shite then the gear playing up. Hence the rant.

You seem to be the only one who hasn’t noticed this over the years.. so I suggest you start getting a bit more on cause you’ve made yourself look a fool.

It’s not an opinion you waffle. It’s a fact. Some have noticed it and some haven’t.

You’ll find statistically the people who use more gear are more likely to experience this issue.

Then theres the rough c**ts who don’t even notice as its just a bag of dust..

Multi is abit hit and miss for me too mateBut now I Just put on smaller sets and turn them round quicker or wack some dabbing in it so it’s nice and creamy. Keep a sponge handy just incase. Works wonders if the sets getting away from me

It’s definitely bad batches 100% as I was on a job today where there is till multi from last time i was there and it was completely normal.

Have you tried board finish ? A few here recommend it even for re-skims..

Board finish is good. To me it leaves a slightly better finish but you lose a little working time one it compared to the multi
 
Interesting this as I’ve always thought dab feels like nice gear when I’ve filled gaps in board lol. Been half tempted to chuck a wall on with pure dab #wildspread

Seen it done , whole bag of adhesive mixed in with a bag of easifill and half a bottle of fairy liquid. It went over an artex ceiling by an old school dry liner
