how does it come naz and how much is it ?.

the problem is with marmorit you have to order the bloody stuff 10 days in advance and min order is 30 bags else you have to pay delivery
 
They dont seen to machine the dark side of boards anymore they are allways full of faults these days.
 
it was always grey side plastering white side decoration years ago now they even tell you on the board which side to plaster.

Grey sides for tiling

Oh dear that's a bit of a basic mistake, the grey side is not for tiling Bruce or anything else.
Daz it really does look like you've had a struggle there, never having skimmed the wrong side of the boards I wouldn't know how bad that would be but it looks like there's a lot of fat been used for filling hollows which will never give a good finish. My guess is that you need to consentrate on putting on and laying a lot neater with less (read no) hollows and no deep sharp lines left in the laying in making it so much easier to trowel up. Remember "less haste more speed".
 
remember not to bang it on when you lay it on, nice and even. especially your second coat. when i've second coated all you can see is faint lines which are consistently around 12" apart. then your first trowel over isnt spent f**k**g about filling hollows. its just flattening the wall and taking the lines out. then the next two trowels are used to finish/smooth the wall. all the fat that you get during the latter stages of trowelling, throw it away. its no use to man nor beast.
