[FreeD]

whats so funny?

 

[grump]

I used it once, seemed to make multi creamier, seems like it hung around a bit but may just have been placebo. Not enough for me to buy more tho.

 

[CKJ]

It gives you an extra 30mins you can easy get 5 bags on

 

[CKJ]

I only use it in summer but some people rely on it

 

[rockhardsolidplastering]

i always used it cos i was always doing my own labouring so it gave you the time to clean and mix etc

[JamieMac]

its a lot s**t any decent spread kin get 3 bags on.

 

[JamieMac]

its good 4 rubing on ur piles.using ur smo tool.

 

[twitcher]

I can get 3 bags on on open walls no problem, but I struggle with fiddly bits on bays and really uneven reskims, that's when I've used it. Since then I've been using stabiliser on old lime and that's made a big difference.

Only ever used Trisodium Citrate for Retarding Gypsum Plasters.

try using an handful of dental plaster works a treat, does the job just right sweet as a nut!

 

[FreeD]

3 bags is nothing m8 just do a rolling set and keep going, why stop? mix up smaller amounts at a time u'll have 10 on by 3. Pack up out the door by 4. Quality job.

 

[twitcher]

there's no point really, most of my stuff is reskims. I can knock out a room in a day, but what's the point? Might as well put a ceiling and a wall on, get out and finish it next day.

 

[FreeD]

Every job i've seen so far where the customer has claimed the plasterer did the room in a day, the main walls are passable but not great, and all the fiddly bits look sh*t

ckj your right m8 it dos slow the set down.
