I’ve had hassle off the painter about painting the first batch stuff ,his roller goes about 3ft and that’s it paint sucked up n that’s after 2 coats wtf
 
As we all know multi can be inconsistent as can the boards. I reskimmed a house where ceilings where over boarded and walls overskim. Walls reacted far better than ceilings. I'll be trying make good soon on a variety of surfaces using different application processes, I will give a full impartial and unbiased view. If the manufacturers get constructive feedback they can adapt the formula to suit the UK market which will be in all our benefits.

I worked with a plasterer years ago that worked all over Germany and Holland in the 90s, during the last plaster shortage people were importing French and polish plasters that noone could use but old Mik persevered adapted his routine until it worked. None of us want to use this adaptive approach in people's homes but if it's just a few gentle tweaks then could be beneficial, if I think it is inferior to Multi or board then I won't flog it

I suspect people care about the plaster because it makes their working day either good and productive or s**t and unproductive, it also counts what your customer thinks of the finish you get otherwise they won’t use you again or put your name forward to others

If you've lost jobs through not being able to get a good/finish on a bag of multi well fun me sideways.you cannot get anything easier for a semi competent plaster on skimming a boarded or over skim wall..IT IS NOT rocket science

Bg allowed people to test it who were in awe of BG , the pitfalls were ignored , tge grumpy sceptical spreads were ignored , you can’t ignore your market , make good are on the Blackfoot now , loads will always believe it’s crap ,
The Irish carlite and carlite ultra is really good although expensive

I haven’t lost any jobs me old mucka we only operate through word of mouth, this threads about the make good stuff not Multi finish which is crap and if you are as old as you imply you will remember carlite finish, board finish and multi finish when it first came out none of which required you owning more than two trowels and the finish was infinitely better than today’s with your speed skimmers and a myriad of different trowels and still end up with a fat covered wall or ceiling

You are right about the Irish stuff, my boy loves it, you get the finish we used to in the eighties and nineties before the crap we have now was fiddled with. If we can get it it will be Carlite or Carlite Ultra finish for us from now on and it’s grey not sissy pink a win all round

I’m not saying you or anyone did or does struggle I’m just saying the Multi finish today is crap compared to what plaster was like in the eighties and nineties, the stuff froze those times wasn’t affected by the damp or winter if you can’t remember buy a few bags of the Irish stuff it will remind you of how easy it should be and was
