Its the 31st not the first

It' not just for the extra time it seems to me to make gear better to finish

Placebo effect I think? Would be nice to know which chemical is slowing it down or making it smoother. Cement sends gypsum off quicker because of the ingredients in it reacting with the gypsum, never known drywall to hang about unless mixed wetter.

Hand full of pea shingle in the gauging water will slow the gauge right down as well.

Yeh I also heard that also not turning the tap on will slow the gauge down

I don’t think dirty water does much really, just sends it off in the bucket quicker. No difference in the walls. Don’t think I could bring myself to use pissy gear

 

[scottie5]

I know p!ssing in the bed used to send the mrs off pretty rapidly .

 

[jamesthefirst]

If we put dab in the mix then will it stick without pva? Might be on to something, we could call it erm..........

Cream of tartar definitely slows the gear down, no question.

I have to say extra time is where it is at

 

[Olican]

I didn't try this method for slowing down setting , didn't think it slowed it down drastically, I did it for improved workability. Adding a touch of adhesive made it feel more like board finish, a touch creamier and nicer to work. @zombie I always value your opinion , you did after all give us the zombie mix , I'd never heard of it in 20 years and it's been a game changer. Without a doubt the single best tip I've ever received. Had you heard of adding adhesive before and if so had you tried it?

 

[scottie5]

Yep, ive often thought to myself 'do you know what that finish really doesn't set quite slowly enough as it is' If only there was a solution so I could drink more brews

 

[Dropsalot]

Rasp some polystyrene insulation into a gauge...........slows it all right down

 

[Dropsalot]

Question.......
If you put extra time in drywall adhesive ....
Will it never set?

 

[Rossi46]

If you add petrol it makes the mix really fast

If you add jam it makes it really sticky

If you add dry roasted peanuts it’s just makes it lumpy

A labourer once dropped the bucket trowel in while I was whisking up The trowel acted like a scoop and dumped all the hardwall everywhere then cut the bottom of the bucket off for good measure That was a messy day that was

haha i had a jcb phone and that happened a few times

 

[Ajaplastering]

I have done this before I just noticed it made it more creamy I don’t think it gave me any more time

 

[smoother09]

I know of a natural retardant that 100% slows a set down for a minimum of 2hours it’s not something I’m willing to share just yet! We’re banging rooms on going onto other jobs then calling back later in the day! It’s truly amazing! Will share when the time is right
