Before it was dry looked mint

i guess a blind man would like to see it! you cannot present a finish like that and ask for payment. why was the floor not protected ?

Second to rendex comment. I used to overwork my plaster i.e not leave it to pull in and also use alot of water and had the same sort of 2 tone thingy. If its flat and smooth don't worry people dont know any different esp after its painted

View attachment 13621 we are a 2 bit renovation company and never plaster on board usually over skim or on render. We have been on a different work this week board finish on broads simple I know and it looked great polished fantastic layed on with nela super flex n but now it's dry oops thought I'd ask u site lads what's gone wrong plz no piss takers been on the trowel 15 yr never seen it like this help me

Its fine ....i remember having problems when i first used flex's.
Use as little as possible water towards end of set.

Maybe it is, like I said im a bit daft

looks like you tried to trowel it up too soon... far too much dirty water...

dont lay on with a s*p*r*lex... that will rarely end well... and to be honest I would master a normal trowel first before trying anything that is time saving or whatever...

We all have bad days...

as lodan said paint it and see how it looks

 

[duke163]

Have the boards been up for months ?

 

[Dropsalot]

Eureka! That's it, the boards have been up too long! It is imperative that you skim them when they are still "green" , firm to the touch, but not too dry.

 

[leebo02]

That wasn't ment to come across as nasty Lodan just a joke. I've no advice to give but if they've layed on with a s*p*r*lex and used it all through the set that would be prime suspect.

when i used s*p*r*lex i done hits from strart to finish with it and the walls were fine, never looked like the pictures above to blame a supeflex is incorrect,,, having said that i stopped using s*p*r*lex

I've laid in with a nela mediflex and refina s*p*r*lex without any dramas at all . but I close up/flatten with a speedskim so it makes no difference how it's thrown on it'll end up flat.
I'd never use a nelaflex (s*p*r*lex) to lay in though mainly cause at 4.3" wide I'd have more over the back of my hands then on the board's.
