Bonding over Brick Wall? quick Q

[Beeny]

Morning,

Quick question, is there anything wrong with Bonding straight over a brick wall followed by skimming without boarding the wall?

Will the skim eventually crack? or are there any other negatives by doing it this way?

It is a very small section of wall.

Regards

No problem bonding over it if it's not painted. Just clean of any dust. Give it a sprinkle of water and bond.

Cool, it's not painted the brick wall. Was worried thinking that the bond might crack or something

Just clean of any dust

.

Worked with a guy who was bonding a ceiling in old house about 6 months ago, ceiling was as dusty as fcuk, he just went ahead and bonded it. When troweling over it it was blistering up like the rocky roads to Dublin. Told him to remove it and do it properly thou the f**k*r didn't listen. Im surprised he hasn't had the call yet to come and redo it because I was expecting the ceiling not to last long up.

Used bg stuff for around 2-3 years in early nineties but decided it was not as good as browning and carlite but usefull on a one off wall.
I like the knauf version and used it a few weeks ago on a wall with high suction but with atound 15mm to cover it all pulled in and finished ok.
