I liked it tight first coat be careful about any lines on first coat as when second coat those lines will become very hard
Besides that just normal skim

It feels slimmy and rubbery to use then it flash sets on you . Tried it on emulsion walls and gloss walls, went a bit better on the gloss tbf, wouldn't recomend it though .

In what way mate?

Shite to mix, shite to spread, shite to flatten, shite to lay down, shite to trowel up, shite finish, greasy as fcuk, holds back for hours then flash sets .
Usually it’s only used in high impact areas on duraline boards like in school corridors to stop scummy little kids trying to punch holes in walls.

 

[mike84]

When your mixing for first coat mix it up in the bucket leave for five minutes then remix it won’t go off as fast.

 

[Deleted member 32554]

Only used it for 1 day , agree with the flash set mentioned ,
