Haha thats a great idea...

We have a massive wall in our lounge that I think is 6meters long which I will do tomorrow and that will be our photo feature wall... planning on covering the whole wall in travel photos :D Our last time we lived here we had a smaller wall and it was always popular with guests..

In the office (loft conversion) I am most excited about it :-) Should make my daily planning easier for sure... other than that no I have not thought much further...

The plaster isnt actually magnetic, it enables magnets to stick to it. Goes on a bit thicker than skim, 4 to 5mm. It needs this thickness to ensure there is enough additive to atract a magnet. Made by BG and ranges from about 30quid a bag on ebay to 65 at merchants. Dont over polish it. According to mike at bg training academy its better of you leave the first coat to go quite hard before applying the second

I love this stuff I have put miles on now :-) great product :-)
 
Thats not too bad then, i thought i read the bag was easi fill size so was thinking 1 maybe 2 m2 if its 5mm. Would u trust it on pva or blue grit all the way?
 
Hi iv never seen or used this before. Looks so cool. Is it much different to using multi and do you have to use a special paint ?
