Anyone whod rather float than just skim are fuucking pig thick headed.

You will never live longer with more money so give it up.

I like to skim our own sand n cement with water proofer in big sets with no suction but that was before I had a machine and tried hardwall thru it! Now I think I like hardwall in the morning!

Then go home n get someone else to skim it!!!

I prefer s+c I know it's heavier to use but I like to float for a couple of days then skim all ceilings and plasterboard walls first.
It's easier to clean up than hardball and it doesn't stick to your feet and tools plus there's no dust as its mixed outside.
It's cheaper than hard wall. I feel I can do a lot more m2 with s+c.
Don't get me wrong i do use hard wall but it not my preferred choice.

a plasterer could earn money floating, it was about the only thing a QS had not caught up with.

if i remember correctly, it states pva before you apply bonding coat.
on the hardwall bag it states that hardwall will not key to pva.
It doesn't, BG don't advise PVA they only promote gypsum bond it., mad o know maybe coz they don't have their own brand.
