This was the 3rd time and 5th bag, still needing pva though defeats the object, I used it again thinking it may be a cheat but not to be

You seem to be an intelligent chap, why would you assume that it kills suction? It says it sticks without PVA, it doesn't say kills suction like PVA.

It's so tiresome seeing people say that it pulls in quick. If we've all been on the tools a while its basics to understand suction control. It's for certain backgrounds not all of them unless you want to chase it.

I think its great for silk paints or shiney surfaces, i wouldn't bother on most surfaces however my point that i've always made stands- if it was the same price as multi then there would be no need for multi finish. You can use it as you do with multi and the odd ceiling or room that crops up you have the added bonus of not needing to pva it and wait for it to go tacky.

I'm not turning this in to another uni thread but it just bugs me seeing people say they needed PVA.

Because it says for Matt paint on the front of the bag, but given the job I was on, I just thought I'd give it a another go
 
As said above learn not to use it on high suction backgrounds,,, it has it's limitations.
 
I used it on a Matt painted ceiling... yes pulled a little faster but it still finished nice..... Though I did find it spits alot on ceilings. Not a fan of it but it's OK, no complaints. Topping with multi works a treat... just feels pointless carrying 2 lots of plaster around.
 
are we any nearer to a conclusion regarding the original unifail?
Will bg stand by the product/plasterer?
has blame been given/accepted?

but you need to coat it heavier on artex.....im on your side.
 
But rights or wrongs of whole thing bg did sort me out with a cash payment joking ,seriously they did sort it out no complaints in the end
 
Jesus. I did have faith in this product but now I'm not too sure. Sounds like they've bought your silence. What a load of bollox. f**k me. Make the lie big and make it simple.

What's too thick @hstoke?
 
Eh I can say what I want about it now it as taken along time to sort out Jan 12th
The guy phoned me about the ceiling then Gary from bg came out a few days later n then it got finalised about two week ago compo paid free t Shirt etc
 
Sorry I'm not being snotty, just tried 11 bags of the stuff and it's a bit worrying that they have paid you compo lol genuinely curious what bg said was the problem.

6mm isn't unheard of in my world.... whilst I'm not saying you should, but often it happens when the going is rough.

Sorry you had the problem.... no one wants that call lol but least you hot something out of it.

ive coated skim heavier than 6mm on ceilings....bullshit excuse from bg.

ive put 20mm of sand and cement on plyed ceilings building paper meshed scratched and coated onto rakes then skimmed.....it stayed there.


but i did skim a bedroom wall 3 weeks ago and it started to peel off when i put the first mist coat on it.

ive also k rended over pebble dash first plot was sound the second i was "told" by the boss it needs doing asap.......he was warned its gonna rain.....the slightest bit of spitting sent all the mesh sliding to the ground.

clean it up your fuucking self you stupid cuunt i told him
