Great stuff, but its the background that counts, not saying it will go wrong, just that it can, I have had a few recently, ending up scraping paint or artex off.Party pooper! I use the blue grit and rate it.i would leave it until the next day on ceilings,but have gone over it fine after drying a few hours on the walls.it probably adds a 3rd on your first coat,knock it flat fairly soon,then it stays wet for a while.
Flatten away.Can i flatten !st coat with a speedskim or does it draw in quicker than that?
we alway scrape artex, and pva ,a different mix of pva to what we require for each ceiling,pattern,paint finish.
you know from the date the property was built if the plaster ceilings have been lime washed, distempered. then its an overboard
what sort of dates before they stoped using distemper? had a painted ceiling bubble then come down the other day i hate the stuff lol!
Blue gritted 2 lids yesterday and overskimmed today. Ooooh i laaaaak ittttt. You can really feel the multi gripping it, not always going to be convenient for domestics if i only have one lid to do i'd only want one visit, or it's sheeting up twice but i'm going to push for using it in future.
On the subject of plastering ceilings ,I turned up one morning as agreed to plaster a bedroom ceiling. While carrying my first lot of gear up the stairs the err lady of the house says "aaahl give me son a shout". I say "it's ok i can manage".
She replies "naaaa aaaal giv me son a shout to gerr outa bedddd" Feckin egits
