The new board finish thickens way too quick our first gauge went off like a c**t we got it nice but complete joke considering I used the old bags last week no problems. .. it dried out nice after it fully set though

@BritishGypsum

Also midiflex is s**t I'm done with it the ox Ultraflex and nela s*p*r*lex pisses all over it

What was they thinking "medium" flex yet all it does is make my work look G**.. I like a uniform color not a smeared finish it seems you need catch it just right it cant handle stress waste of £40

Stick it in the market place on here. Used once. £25
 
Had the same with board finish last week, flash set on me. Lucky it was only a 3 wall hit, knocked us back a bit though.

Seems they're now spreading the shite throughout their range.

Lucky dip plaster bags now.

It's only the bags that are new
 
Just got multi finish again to try tomorrow as boards hit and miss

Would use the pure finish but can’t get it anywhere and not driving an hour to get it

This is the worst it’s been ever. As said about it’s like lucky dip. Some bags are normal some are evil.

Using that pure finish made me realise just how f**k*d the normal gear is

Lay down with same gear!

Sponge float 2 big gauges!

Knock up a 2nd coat mix pissy at same time as mixing up your 1st coat so its ready for topping 1st coat straight away!

Add water back to 1st coat mix!

Or just 1 coat!

Come on john join the dark side!

Impressed on silk paint. This is the only pva I will use, debatable whether uni is quicker now Vincey, and I still use it.
