multi finish

[Donzo]

I know it has been said before, this stuff is awful at moment. Plastering 35 years and can say it's the worst it's ever been.if u want time send an email to British gypsum you have to go through a process.crap at setting in bits,tearing,why is this market
Have so little choice of products in uk.

 

[GrantyBoy]

They don't care, they have the market wrapped up so they don't need to strive to give us a great product. If there were more products readily available they would soon get the finger out but until then..

 

[theclemo]

Can u not try get irish gypsum its owned by the same company .its nice to use at the moment. Or get knauf mp finish

 

[CTPlastering]

Aye just give multi a final dry trowel 3 hours after i put it on and its still tearing ......

 

[Donzo]

3 hours to set on top of bonding,in a warm room,bonding was well set etc,,why can't we get that finish that
They get in Ireland That's sets quick.
This stuff is giving most of us a headache British gypsum.

Multi finish has gone down hill over the years and I'm sure they've started putting less in the bags, my 70l bucket couldn't quite get 3 bags in a while ago and now 3 bags go in easily!

The Irish skimcoat has improved greatly,whatever they have changed it seems to go further and trowels up lovely.Did a job last summer in Mayo and the builder brought in Knauf mp finish.Mixed up a bag and could'nt believe how far it went.I quickly learned to fill the joints and flush out beads in advance.I'd use it again no problem only it's a bit awkward getting it.

Where in Ireland are u

 

[Donzo]

I used to use board finish regular ,over bonding plaster but stopped when I had a wall hairline crack.by the book board finish ain't for bonding but,,,,,,

 

[Nicm]

Where in Ireland are u

Kildare.Was talking to a company called u value insulation in Ballycoolin Co Dublin who would supply me.I reckon I could cut out a labourer completely using that stuff.Anyway when the skimcoat improved and I started using the s*p*r*lex I was skimming away under no pressure at all so did'nt follow up on the mp finish.

 

[theclemo]

U can get mp finish in Murdock Builder's Merchants in balbriggan co dublin € 6.50 a bag

Thanks for that.Thats good value.

No problem mate. I do spray it. It sets a lot quicker when spraying. But the slabbing has to be good. Its best to tape joints the day before.

It was'n great until a few months ago.Thats why I was thinking of switching to knauf.But now it's very good and has a long shelf life.If u can get it you'd like it.
