always getting shiny walls these days and all im doin is pvaing em, giving it a good half hour and if it aint proper dry sponging it back off before i get the plaster on...
let it pull right in, flatten it, let it go right off than just chuck some water at it and shine the marks out... too much hassle to 2 coat it, be there all bloody day...
does have a tendency to tear though if I aint carefull finishing it...
might just give the old sand trick a bash see if it stops the tearing....
firm wont supply gypbond, too much hassle getting knocked into a property day before to gypbond anyway...
