Dri coat is a floating coat ,suitable for after chemical injection etc, I use it internally for patching or piers instead of sand and cement, no skim able for 24 hrs.

I've never used it John, is it any good like? sounds expensive compared to s/c say to do a full damp course for example?? is the advantage that being a lightweight plaster that you can build out to thickness's much quicker? am just curious is all :RpS_confused:

I like it, it's very light and adheres well, 25kg is near 15 including tax, good for small areas and easier to fix beads with it , great for chases etc,
 
Anybody remember skimming with Siropite. Then there was also Veneer skimming . We used to put all the top of the house on with Siropite and leave over night ,troweled up great next day'

Fck using dri coat for fixing beads and filling chases it's costs a bomb!!

For me it only for DPC that needs skimming next day or so.

You Londoners hey!

Suitable for lots of bits and pieces where sand cement would be more problematic. I only use it occasionally,
