Facebook seems have a brave few lads happy with it.... Time will tell I suppose.Mate off mine been using it last couple of days he runs quite a few lads,
Bad news it's meant to be dog s**t
None of them can get on with it
Yes and the others get into IT, gambling and cuttlefish.I think it is down to timings... will take a bit of tweaking to get it right...
Any good plasterer can adapt....
These lads have adapted good plasterersI think it is down to timings... will take a bit of tweaking to get it right...

Knauff is shite. Ok if you're going over mortar but anything remotely needing filled needs bonded out or something first.This gear has been getting some very bad reviews on the plastering Facebook pages.
In some of the pictures and videos it looks just like the batch of Knauf finish I had that they accepted was faulty. Areas that are sopping wet right next to bits that have flash set.
The company selling have also said that it should only be trowelled with a flexi from start to finish. Oh deary me.
You're also supposed to put it on at 3mm instead of 2mm, so that's extra gear to apply.
If, as I suspect, this is just like Knauf finish you'll also need to pre-fill the beads and tapers etc.
Sounds like a massive disappointment if I'm honest.
I’ll give it bash when hopefully get the stuff By end of may any dates yet ?@Plasterers1StopShopI’m only doing rendering until July Ish atm mate
Thought @essexandy or @hstoke were gonna try it an review on here

I wonder what the outcome would be mixed half and half whith gypsumAs with everything new, it’s a learning curve and negative comments will be seen far more than positive
There has also been a number of positive ones on FB and as a whole. It’s been taken well. Yet, there are still some bad
Ryan don't for a second think that I wanted to be negative about this product, like just about every other spread I'd love to see a true competitor to BG products. I'm afraid this won't be it.As with everything new, it’s a learning curve and negative comments will be seen far more than positive

Why didn't MG come up with a product with all the good points of Board or Multifinish, but without the drawbacks? A real opportunity missed if you ask me.
Whether you like it or not this appears to be just like Knauf finish and most, not all, guys hated that.
You'd think making plaster was rocket science.
It's a fair point, it's a completely different product and they're all almost certainly trying to use the exact same method they do with multi. This is where a YouTube video of the process from start to finish with a proper couple of minute look at the final finish close up with decent lighting would be useful. I'm not sure how companies expect us to use a brand new product with absolutely no indication of how to use it other than a few short instructions. Need to see it in useDon’t worry mate. I didnt think you were.
Time will tell on this, and I think in all honesty it’s too early to judge it, especially when some guys are slating it after using 3-4 bags - I have even come across some saying it’s bad when they haven’t used it but claim they have.
I’m confident MG will work with everyone and make sure it’s right - I do know guys using the mention application methods and they are having success
My biggest concern for MG would be what I'll call the (Unfinish effect). Don't get the product spot on first time and you're f**k*d. Now is not the right time to "work with everyone", that should have been working with the right people. Those that actually know the difference between good and bad gear and aren't yes men.Don’t worry mate. I didnt think you were.

We still don't know what this gear can be used on.nothing on their web page.Don’t worry mate. I didnt think you were.

Ain't buying anything more of them unless I see spec. Pva,use grit,,,,,damp undercoats.
Not your fault ryan
I have just read another negative review on Facebook, but after digging a little deeper I question why a detailed review had been done.
Only chancers on Facebook plying their s**t work
The latest review is based on the usage of 1 bag! Yes, 1 bag! I know many of you are extremely good at what you do, but how can you honestly learn about a product and adapt to it after using a bag? How do you learn the timings and characteristics of the product with such little use?
This is part of the problem with reviews on Facebook in my opinion, you only get a fraction of the information required
Couldn't of said it better,I laugh when I see plasterers with facebook advertising logos on there Van's,screams I'm s**t so il do abit of free advertising to get some work.absoloute chancersOnly chancers in Facebook plying their s**t work

Cheers mateGood luck
Let us know how you get on
They just posted this on there instagram page. sounds like the knauf mpf, nice n silky to spread, went for miles but used to peel if had it on abit tight when troweling up. Same colour too
Yes but you need to buy a bloody pallet I think?Looks decent tbf. I'll be giving it a go, nothing to lose if I skim a room in my own house with it. Multis been inconsistent for years.
Still need to know what backgrounds it's ok on though and if you prep the walls the same way
Theres also a video on their of someone whos skimmed a gym with it, looks good, no streaky lines like with multi
