Is thepaint welded on mate ?? Id defo grit then if your going to do hardwall if its only a few mm thick?? Should be ok ?

 

[Marshy]

Yeah full walls with bonding is a t**t! Ive done half and half hardwall/bonding and was nice to spread and rule too.

 

[malc]

it does state on a bag of hardwall do not apply to pva.

 

[theclemo]

It's says a lot of things on the bags.

 

[beader]

Use bonding as it sticks like s**t to a blanket.

I've used hardwall before and was sound

I did say to grit and not pva plus 50/50 bonding and hardwall if it's only a few mm thick applied

 

[leebo02]

in the past ive put a tight coat of bonding on then gone over again with hardwall and never had any problems

I am gritting the walls going over pretend artex that's done with skim but bumpy as fook so was going to give it one with bonding then wanted to rule something different over the top cos hate ruling with bonding

I no it's a bit of a yhee ha!!!!but I've done similar kinda jobs over the years I tried a 60/40 ratio of bonding an drywall adhesive 1 time just made it up as u do!mark out slacks & do what spreads do it will take a little longer to set but u can slap it on rule it off any left over can be used to cover the pattern what's probly covering whatever shite!done it twice now worked a treat & stayed on so far...

Just wet your straightedge and trowel, bonding is so similar to hardwall or tough coat it doesn't need modifying it deals with low suction backgrounds.
