Filling electricians chases?

[Skimble]

Normally I would fill with hardwall and skim the wall, got a job where the customer doesn't want the wall skimmed.

Would you guys fill it with hardwall shallow and put a skim on top?

One coat universal

 

[JessThePlasterer]

Ah right, didn't get that at first. Thought you meant they didn't want skim over the top of the filled chase!

Yeah bonding and skim.

I hate those jobs following round just where the electricians chased out on a whole house. So time consuming and fiddly and crap.

One coat universal

I've never used one coat. Always walk past it and think 'nah'. The name puts me off sounds like it'd be a headache. But good for small patches of broken wall?

 

[johniosaif]

Great for chases. Bang it on ,when it pulls trowel it up, finished.

The one coat universal is vey similar to mp75 and is the way forward, doesn't crack and twice as quick!

How long does one coat take from start to finish? Special bonding sets in 20mins

 

[johniosaif]

Can't remember if you can speed it up with cement, very probably same as bonding

Cement mate. The more you put in the quicker it sets

As I found out the first time I did it and went 50/50. Cost me a new paddle and bucket lol

fill with bonding/browning.. rub up and cut back 2mm to allow for finish to marry up with existing wall.... or use one coat.. takes ages to pull in tho, depends how many your doing..

Agree totally but also finishing with easi fill gives a nice finish especially if what your marrying into has high suction.

Knauf did a 45minute set one coat in 12kg but could never find it stocked anywhere.
