No probs you never used limelite then buddy?
Naw mate used other renovating plasters just wasn't sure about the top coat how to finish it, apparently its a white matt finish.

Yes its white and matt you could polish it all day and it would still be matt backing coat has to cure for 24 hrs before you hit it aswell
Aye I know you have to leave the backing coat 24hrs, thanks for your advice bud.

dream to spread
Limelite backing is a dream to spread. like spreading cotton wool. Not like bonding and hard wall which are similar to spreading chewing gum.

Just the usual speed skim,then steel followed by refina plazzie then steel then spat and then sponge bring up the fat and steel. Easy!:RpS_wink:
I have used tons of renderlite, Limelite & Dri-Coat over the years & they all specified board finish!
It was great because you could float it on first thing & skim it the same afternoon when it got a bit crusty.
So why all of a sudden do we need a lime based finish that means going back the next day?
Are they now saying that board finish doesn't "breathe" ..... it's all bollox in my opinion!
