Multi finish on concrete

[luke105]

Plastering walls tomorrow in a kitchen... block council house. Walls seem to have a been concreted over.
Been plastering 4 years but have never seen Walls finished this way.
I'm assuming it's pure concrete as it seems very grey like in colour.

Pva and skim? Or shall I give it a tight coat of bonding first to be sure...
Or, what about mix 75% multi with 25% bonding coat for my first coat....
Then obviiously just multi for finish coat

Glue it and skim it

Bonding first.

After pva I'm guessing ?

 

[Danny]

was it an empty property?

 

[scottie5]

If its empty just torch it.

 

[luke105]

Someone has bought it....took wallpaper off. That's what was underneatth. I'm just trying to avoid bonding the whole back section of the kitchen if I don't need to.

Looks like a right slum in there, put your boots and gloves on first

 

[malc]

the house may be built from no fines. a poured concrete structure. just pva and skim if walls are flat enough. or dot and dab then skim.

[luke105]

Yeh I think I'll go for skimming onto the pva. I'll keep my eye on the first coat whilst it's drying.

Well I need to mix it, use materials, wait for it to dry etc etc, don't see The point if there's no need.

probably bonding agent and skim or if the walls are that bad.. bonding agent then a tight coat of bonding then skim But the money on the job needs to reflect that If its a cheapo scabby job it would get WBA and skim

 

[luke105]

So....pva and skim was fine. Actually hung around for ages. I'll have a look at it tomorrow but all seems fine

Blue grit or similar for me

 

[luke105]

Blue grit or similar for me

I can see why you'd do it to make sure but I only use that in extreme circumstances or on a large wall with silk paint. With the wall only being small in this instance I thought it was worth the risk

 

[luke105]

It's still on the wall
