no not single skin mate, skimmin on hardwall is gr8! takes no time at all just lay on flatten the lay on again!
 
i just wanted it to stick! have i dont sumit wrong? is it to do with having suction making the bond?
 
walls that are to be hardwall'd can be treated with thistle gyp-prime. direct from the british gypsum website
 
also when ever i use bond it i make my own ie. 10L of bond it mixed with 3L of PVA plus 5L of Water, makes it go far and spreads well. i use that bond it mix as an every day primmer.
 
to be honest mate, it will probably be fine. but it says on their website to only use it with bonding coat.
 
I aint seeing the same job as the rest of you i just sacked a spread for plastering that standard (only joking oasis looks allright ;D )

What i can gather is it causes air to be trapped behind and makes hollow areas.

it wouldn't be anything to do with the weight of plaster/ hardwall/ toughcoat. there not being any suction now due to bond it....

when your floating oasis remember to cut it back at door casings and beads

and if you want your bond it to go further just water it down no need for pva but then again theres no need for bond it in 90% of applications

looks alright for ya first go Oasis!

but why didnt you rule off using the door frame?

Id have set a screed up on the left of the wall (where you did) and ruled between that and the door frame!

unless its just the skim thats making it look like its quite proud?
 
Just needs a thin bit of timber (15mm wide by 5mm thick) nailing onto the edge of the doorframe before skimming, and jobs a good un!
