skimmin2day said:I usually put first coat on wash the edges down and then put second coat on straight away /always from the same mix.
ill then flatten it when ready .
Whilst the wall/walls are going off- im then straight onto next walls with a fresh mix-then go back and polish the first wall /walls.

ah thought so, i hate not using a spot board. i find the mix left in a bucket goes off ridiculously fast, keeps your hands warm in winter i guessskimmin2day said:always use a spot board mate,saves on bending and sets the mix of a bit quicker also.
richardbrown said:You can 2 coat with the same mix no problem if you can lay very flat and the boardwork is perfect, for example no steps in it, highspots etc and if you are laying small areas.
If your gonna lay big sets then usually there isnt enough gear left in the tub anyway
