poly ripple

[christ]

had to plaster over a poly ripple ceiling. you dont see poly ripple very often now. anyway i didnt bother scraping in off, pva and just plastered straight over the top, had to put a really think coat on first, and quite thick second coat, and had a couple of white dots on ceiling. anyone else plastered over poly ripple

is it that stuff sort of half artex half sandtex? if it is, then yes i have, and did same as you. tried to scrape it but it was like concrete.

yeah it looks like wba or bont it, but a very aggresive finish if you know what i mean, basicly it fecking hanging, good key though. next time i do it i mighty charge for 3 coats

I reckon wba and bond-it are just sandtex with a change of colour and a fancy name ;D
