Good job mateJust finished a whole house in thistle pure finish , client and myself happy with the outcome, imo it really is the best plaster available, no sanding or snagging at all , couple of shots from kitchen area painted up.

How Much a bag does that work out,,, what prep is required on existing painted surfaces,,,, tried to get a look at its spec not much on it out there.Thanks I know keep banging on about this pure but it’s so nice to trowel up 3 pallet of it used and another guy I know down south is on his 5th pallet is same it is slightly different I’ve used all the thistle skim coats available now and found they each are slightly different to trowel up but pure is definitely the easiest and nicest to use
It’s actually enjoyable

Depends what I used over Andy basically 1.5 hr - 2, out of all the gauge s none have gone past 2hours ish , main thing that I like about it seems to pull in all the time not hang around waiting for next trowel , but is always workable, sometimes I’ve laid in with same mix and get great finish tooWhat is the setting time mate

Tbh mate I doubt they will get a few bags only a pallets worth, but give bg a call or message either Gary Blackburn ( @The Apprentice on here ) or Paul Mulanganie at bg hq, they will be able to sort you a few bags , there is another new demonstrator down south called Gary too he’s based in London area I thinkI asked Travis to get a couple bags in for a sample see what it’s like
