There will come a time,, but ? Yeah its totally different to Multie doesent like been applied thick Its good for new boards on say a conservatory with new white frames its cleaner than BG multi tom

Not sure if its been disscussed before but hey ho Havent used it for years We used it on site when house bashing on boards not so good on re skims in my opinion Got to mix it thick to start as when you knock it through it thins down. So who uses it regaular ? Your thoughts?

Give the carbon Marshall a go there spot on also got a perma shape gold seems ok only used it a few times Both 13X5 Got a 10inch aswell

So you always knock up two mixes up. even if you are only putting on 4 or 5 handboards full ?

;D ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrMFB5pNovs

Got to be a wind up that Oh yeah as for telling lads they need to go back to college, there is a spell checker you could use 'good or what' or you could always go back to school ;)
