For fucksake!

[essexandy]

First back using Multifinish this week after staying away from it for months.
Absolutely f**k**g awful shite.
First trowel, everything looks fine.
Second trowel, no water other than on the blade of the carbon steel trowel, f**k**g tiger stripes everywhere.
After thirty-seven years I'm second guessing and questioning everything I've ever known or done with finish plaster.
@BritishGypsum you are a disgrace.

Close the angle of the trowel I've found that helps a lot.

And a tad more water than usual

You'd think you'd have got the hang of it by now.

I’m still using pure finish , lovely gear and ain’t gonna stop , gone are my days of taking 50/50 gamble on multi,always know what I’m gonna get with pure , spot on material 2 flatten and a cross job done , tbh I had similar situation last year and just decided I had enough, just want to enjoy my work and have a sing along and stuff to radio

Hopefully one day in the not to distant future you will take me up on my advice andy mate and eventually say you know what Vince was right for once

 

[stuart23]

Was one of the reasons for me ditching plastering all together. Plastering used to be effortless to get a cracking finish and it just got harder and harder, if I was still going I’d be all over that pure finish that Vincey uses.

Problem is finding somewhere that sticks it.

I'd love to give it a bash but can't get any anywhere

 

[JessThePlasterer]

Is it the new aesthetically bags too?

Well if it makes you feel any better I’ve just kicked over a bucket of water while working upstairs next to a bay window. Just ‘popped’ downstairs to calmly ask for a mop and bucket... ‘oh just a tiny spillage don’t worry’

Can you not get a pallet ordered into your local builders merchant?

Nope I asked
No demand for it so won't order In

Same with bonding 60 no real demand so stopped stocking it.

@Vincey if you're gonna redact your receipt, then don't use a see through pen. Just saying, like.

My merchants are ok to keep it in once I paid for the pallet as long as I get it all gone within a few weeks or so maybe yours will too

Yeah I've mentioned this before and they seemed as if they be fine with it

@essexandy was this in the new package multi as we used it other day and it was fantastic stuff .

And a tad more water than usual

I tend to use the trowel closed down way more than most spreads I've ever known. It actually worked better opening the trowel right up.
All came good in the end, as usual, but boy what a lot of effort.

I’m still using pure finish , lovely gear and ain’t gonna stop , gone are my days of taking 50/50 gamble on multi,always know what I’m gonna get with pure , spot on material 2 flatten and a cross job done , tbh I had similar situation last year and just decided I had enough, just want to enjoy my work and have a sing along and stuff to radio

Hopefully one day in the not to distant future you will take me up on my advice andy mate and eventually say you know what Vince was right for once

I've never once doubted you that the Pure Finish is good gear Pete but I don't agree that I should have to spend so much more just to get a suitable material. If they can't make a decent plaster at the price of Multifinish then they should scrap it. That way merchants would have to stock decent gear and the new expensive price would just be the norm and, within reason, the same for everyone.

Yep the new bags full of the same old shite Jess.

Can’t get this pure finish anywhere where I’m at. You can get close to another type of pure but will not go there

 

[SmoothCriminal]

British Gypsum states it’s the same gear just different bags. Board finish is perfect for me however I used multi today an it’s been fine. Must be something in the water

 

[lurpak]

Mike@BG told me they’ve changed the forumula to suit 1 coat and plastic trowels

 

[Hillsy]

I’m finding multi so much better than what it used to be. Not saying it’s a great product but I seem to be able to get a much nicer finish and it seems easier to get flat and smooth with less work. I think the less trowels you give it the better it goes

It’s still s**t gear though

 

[Djr]

We're using multi on site out of the new bags and board finish 100% better gear seems a lot finer

 

[Formby plastering]

I've just come to the conclusion it can't be finished on a decent size hit without applying a bit of water.

 

[Danny]

I struggled with the last job I did... could not trowel it up nice... looked terrible when dried but I stuck a coat of paint over it and it was perfect

Is this the same mike from nela?

Na mate just coincidence

Na mate just coincidence

Someone else he.s freeloading off

 

[lurpak]

I gave up moaning about it. It seems so inconsistent that I just don’t care anymore.

Flat and smooth don’t care what looks like

Agree mate but all I’m saying as a friend to everyone on here is pure is a pleasure to use not a gamble
I want to leave nice work and enjoy my day
Even yesterday my mate said exactly what you are today
I wish you well on next gauge

Sand and cement covered in sirapite.......steady and consistent. World wasn’t as complicated then.
