Any of you lads diluted it before ? With say pva ? Has it worked or ****** up ? Lol was just wondering how to get a extra bit out of each tub !
Used sand and PVA lots of times ,same thing just cheaper
Bond it wba micro and blue grit aren't pva. Just plasterers pre grit
Casisie if that's the case can you explain why you can plaster over betokontact or WBA in 3 hours and gypbondit you have to leave 24 hoursIve put pva in bond it, when ive been running out on a job, worked ok... I wouldnt dilute unless it was a last min thing.. save fetching another tub, but no probs diluting it a bit... its only grit, pva and fukin dye anyway..lol
Get it from R and J builders £18 including a tub, seems very watery compared to blue grit, soon get used to it though.
zedfix.com selling it for £13.60 including the VAT. £6 flat delivery. might be worth it if you were buying a few or were buying something else.
I've diluted Blue grit 50/50 many times with neat PVA...I find it too thick to roll otherwise, never had a problem.
Now I only use Bondit pre grit which is basically PVA with grit in it...the grit is much finer, easy/quicker to roll, much better coverage than blue grit. Only problem is it's harder to see especially on yellow walls!!
Encon sell Microgbetis
fuk me.. you sound like a barrister..lol.. never heard of the 2 ur on about.. it says leave 24 hours on the tub mate.. I;ll presume its to let the gear set so your plastering onto the solid grit... bit like a dash scratch coat, you wouldnt 2nd coat the sand/cement scratch coat the same day would ya..Casisie if that's the case can you explain why you can plaster over betokontact or WBA in 3 hours and gypbondit you have to leave 24 hours
About 36 quid plus vat mate, cant see any problems going over Artex.Thanks, Andy. Found it. Any idea of the price? Can I use it over Artex?

You don't leave pva 24 hours ?fuk me.. you sound like a barrister..lol.. never heard of the 2 ur on about.. it says leave 24 hours on the tub mate..

No clue what ur on about mate, yes sometimes you can leave PVA to dry completely, but you must coat it again as the PVA has to be tacky when applying the plaster.. you can get info leaflets on this sort of stuff ya know..lolYou don't leave pva 24 hours ?
thats all it is though isn't it pva
