gyproc joint cement

[CKJ]

done a few jobs recently for friends and used Gyproc Ready Mix Joint Cement | Dry Lining | Dry Lining Accessories | Joint Cements | | Insulation Express gyproc joint cement, it goes on the same as lime putty, burnishes the same, finishes earlier and its cheap as chips!!! looks just the same as any other venetian plaster i have used.

I welcome all your comments especially the non believers

sounds good , does it come coloured or do you have to coloure it your self.

That's what the poles use for skimming, sands down nice!

What exactly are you using it for? As a base for the stucco before your primer?
