well all its gana do is run the lines out and spread the grit.. looks good. stuff krend lets just smash this over old render! lol
 
how thick do you apply it? what situation do you use it and what would you use as a basecoat etc? ive never used anything like that
 
aint that the stuff they use over kingspan/ thermal boards?think steve is right u need special undercoat eml another undercoat then skim coat of the acrylic
 
its basically a textured paint,, (as monkey told me) and u can apply it to flattish areas external and internal and its very flexi so good to cover up cracking areas.. i thick u can spray it on quite thick.. but anyhow I'm gana take over the world and sell it 2 any1 with cracks lol £150 was a good deal iv just priced it into a new job for £1000

Damp is it Miss well one cot of my super flexi grit mix will cure all .. £180 a tin aint cheap but tis worth it :)
 
its ok on plasterboard for a test run only... but its not a product for gypsum board in usage. you dont roller it either you scrape on and off then rub it up. its on far too heavy on that board there you want it tight as you can get it. trowel it on tight an then scrape it back off hard angle on your trowel then plastic float (not poly float)

says on tin apply with the trowel like u said then roller finish,,, I'm guessing it would spread a bit then.. whats with the lay on then rub up then trowel again? i fort its OK to lay on heavy as you are trying to cover up crap aswell... humm so a tight coat then rub it around 2 spread the grit and stroke up with the float... ill do a bigger test run soon.

Yeah with sand fine they refer to rubbing up the texture as in to roll the aggregate meaning when you circulate the surface with the plastic.
