Has anyone tried a 50/50 mix fast set and bonding?
Iv got a small bathroom to skim tomorrow and been given a couple of bags of fast set to try.
Usually I’d 50/50 the first coat
I wander if it’ll bring it back to 40ish mins as bonding usually knocks it back

A good bucket trowel full of lime sets it off really fast buddy

I mean has anyone tried mixing the new thistle fast set and standard bonding, to see what set times are
As it happens when I got there today it needed a full coat of bonding anyway

Wouldn't they sort of cancel each other out, fast set will take up quicker while the bonding which holds more moisture might not set fast enough causing blistering, you English boys call it something else,can't remember though.
