Plasterers pregrit

[Cornelius]

does anyone know of a pregrit that you can skim over the same day? Blue grit and some of the others your supposed to wait 24 hours. I don't want to use pva. Cheers fellas

Micro is fine to skim once it's gone tacky I think. There's a few on here who use it for skimming.

Do wickes still do theirs that was always 2hrs

 

[Cornelius]

Thanks mate I'll check that out

 

[Cornelius]

Is micro the brand name? micro grit?

 

[jamesthefirst]

Mocrogobetis is good same day but goes solid not tacky, it doesn't like wallpaper paste residue though and knauf betakontakt if high or medium suction.

Wickes still do it and is very good. And yes Vince, i use hair dryer on it. Also get heaters up against it to help it on its way, can save the day sometimes if there's no uni around.

How much is the blue grit and bond it a tub any way ?

I did but I recon it will fall on deaf ears and no I'm not in the club

The gypsum bond it is dry in an hour but I've never skimmed on it straight away but think it might be ok.

On every background and all temps? How about over an oil based paint in the middle of winter on a job with no heating

Micro £40 a tub and covers twice as much as Bond it.
I hate blue grit with a passion.

Because the aggregate is so small it carries less fluid so dries really quick. Quality gear.

Why not use gypprime ? To expensive?

Gyprime is for high suction. Different shiz altogether.

I've been making my own. Buying 10kg tub of sika PVA and throwing a few good handfuls of render sand in it. Works great when I've run out of micro
For skimming obviously not render

A bit of blue chalk in there and you've got blue grit!

 

[Dr.B]

Food colouring will do, make it any colour you want

Blue grit takes twice as long to apply.
Blue grit needs twice as much finish to cover.

Did you learn nothing from the Nanette Newman Fairy liquid adverts?

We used 30 tubs of it on this job in 6 weeks. Not a crack or problem on any of it. Great gear

You'd have done it in 4 weeks with Betokontakt.

 

[thebearbeef]

Lol fucks sake now you tell me

 

[jamesthefirst]

Have you used micro @PlanB?
It's even better coverage than kontakt can be watered down a tad and dries quicker.
