Bonding in first coat, flatten, top with multi, finish as usual. Don't bother with 2 coats of multi on top ...... Or the sponge. On grit too..... seemed like a very complicated affair

I used this for the first time on a fan effect artex ceiling the other day and it worked perfectly! Just put few handfuls in the first coat and was lovely to lay on and covers the depth so much better.

Lol unifinish is ok...its great in the right circumstance (really low suction ) but other than an artex ceiling 90% of the time I got several different suctions on the same wall and its too much of a headache

Hook on's are beautiful...@zolco had a site at £32 i think....I'd never bother with normals again....the very odd time the hook on beads won't get a hold they're still a normal bead with nails holes so sooner have them than not

That's was my first thought...loads of the wooden corners round me and the normal beads usually a few mm short of bridging over them

Were do you get the hook on s bud?
Paper tape bedded down over normal beads also works if struggling pal

I've used the magic mix. And I got it off Zombies thread on here and much appreciated it. But I don't use it anymore. I use unifinish. There's no need to grit or pva and it goes on real thick with no sag. It's lovely stuff. The artex doesn't bloom through. Loads of time. Second coat with board, I wouldn't use anything else now. I'm even paying £12 a bag for it because B and Q are the only stockists around here. I'd be gutted if they stopped stocking it. I would seriously get a pallet delivered. Only negative apart from the price is I still haven't mastered second coating and finishing in it. Just looks shite. But then it's cheaper to finish in board. Try it over a real razor sharp bark effect artex or similar and I guarantee you'll change your mind about it.
