Similar to browning but cuts your hands to f**k.

are u using limelite high impact?if so knock it up leave it standing for 5 mins then respin it-when its on the board it stiffens up real quick but softens up if you squish it a couple of times-wierd stuff-wait till its pulled right in before you trowel it or it goes all wet and blistery

yer high impact lime lite, thanks for all your help wont be sweating my (french word) off today trying to bang set on before its goin off lol cheers

base coat can be knocked up as normal.
high impact finish needs to be knocked up to working consistency, then left for around 4 mins, then mix it back to working consistency.
if it goes stiff you can mix it back again (obviously don't do this too much).
let it pull in and give it two dry trowels... don't use any water!

hope this helps
