If you can’t take it back try mixing half and half with board, that has worked for me.

Multi has been good for me the last few months until last week.. had a handful of bags completely cock up a job, impossible to get a decent finish, same old s**t, chewing gum that never sets, if it was like that every day I'd get another job.
Using board finish now and it's decent at the minute..

Yeah I know ,it’s that’s easy bud .the only time I find it trowels crap when it’s on toooo thick like round a thick door lining apart from that it’s lovely to trowel up

No joke mate , only ever had 2 bad bags and they were not from wickes beds , John j picture of red bags nearly out of date , mines usually got at least 2 months , busy town and fast turnover of stock I guess , I don't know , perhaps technique , lay on ( very neat ) , flatten 15/20 min ish later just before 2nd , keeping neat as I go , cross trowel after 10 then vert and final cross to finish , never use water , clean trowel and dry , only wet brush edges if doing opposites but don't pull wet onto wall
I don't know why its a mystery to me , just like skim on dry PVA , thought it was an in joke lol
True I don't regularly day in day out put as much on as you guys , do other things as well but I can wipe a room out just as quick as most and mines fxxking neater than most, worked with 5 different spreads in London last year and put the same metres, mine was flat the were chucking water and all sorts of tricks and theirs looked like smoothed sand pits , all over the place

I’ve tried every technique to finish multi and I find tight and I mean tight and tidy is the best way that works for me,getting near to 17m to a bag once everything’s been dubbed out with some stiffy,,try it might work for u, but u won’t know if u don’t try
That's all good and well but you can't do that on all backgrounds.
100% agree on tighter the better though!

U can ,mix a stiff one first and bug/dub out any dodgy areas then your good for 2 tight ones
I know what your saying I actualy agree but for the record we've had bags equally as bad on gear literally scratched on as much as on heavier coats!

Board finish has been good lately but this last batch taken ages to set, used up a few sachets of half time.

It was all going well until I decided to give it a final cross-trowel.....just the one at the top went like that - not bumpy at all when you ran your hand over it.
