Blue grit- what can it be used on?

[plasjack]

I've never used blue grit well I've never put it inn anyway...

Can it be applied to any background? E.g plywood. Plastic etc ?

This might be a silly question

Just low suction backgrounds. Wood plastic no. Anything u can pva u can bluegrit.

Fixed it @superspread

It doesnt just have to be high suction, you can apply it to tiles and skim over them and im sure it says on the tub glass aswell. Although not quite sure why you would want to skim over glass

 

[plasjack]

I was asked if there was anyway you can skim a plywood wall... And I thought blue grit beens as it says tiles to

 

[scottie5]

If its ply just screw a board on it.

 

[scottie5]

The grits are designed for low suction backgrounds to provide a mechanical key for smooth surfaces, concrete, tiles, shiney paint, bare plaster.
If its porous pva, sbr or micro.

I would say it's more for low suction backgrounds like gloss / silk paints for example

Blue grit is best used to fill the inside of the bucket that it came out of

They have coving and don't want to loose the profile so the ply would have to be removed 1st fack em forget about that job now q[emoji2]

 

[jamesthefirst]

Ive screwed or adhered 6mm contour board to this background when trying to keep as tight as poss.
Used microgobetis on some ply on a soil pipe boxing in with fibres in skim and 100mm scrim and was fine still a few years on.
