dan youve been tagging them in threads like this for around 2 years whilst simultaneously telling us they've fixed it. My merchants looked like lapland the other day. Finish everywhere. The lafarge bonding compound bags were spotless...

It doesn't take two years to phone the paper supplier and ask for a thicker grade paper. You don't need to tag them so they can keep track. They can just follow the trails of finish everywhere!

Hi guys! We know that there are issues with our bags and we’re working on improving the situation. The first stage (which we’ve now started) is to install new machines and secure the bags onto the pallets. This will take some time to get up and running, but we’re looking to have them ready and tested for early next year. This will stop us needing to use glue on the bags, which will stop the tearing and cause less damage in transit. We’ll keep you updated!
Y don't yous just use the same bags as Irish gypsum. U are the same company. I had 20 bags of your finish on the job this week and 50 bags of Irish finish. The mass if the house with your finish all over the place. It made me look on professional. Skim dust everywhere.Hi guys!

Hi guys! Just a quick genuine question guys, if your spending the time and money to fix the shite quality of the bags at the minute, could you at the same time look at putting finish bags in the same breathable plastic type bags that are used for cement/postcrete etc. One of the biggest issues of plaster is storage - especially for the house building/commercial building firms- because a few showers and the bags start to get very lumpy.
As a finish product thats obviously a problem as it effects the quality when a lump rips up the wall. Please give a genuine answer why this isn't an option because to me it solves a lot of problems?
They can't use sealed plastic bags because the gypsum mites would suffocate (@Nisus told me about them) and that would breach EU regulations on endangered species.
Going off the subject Imago i've just been to see a job ,its a rap around extension nice brickwork and blockwork but the fella is a bit concerned with the steel work were they have taken out the rear wall, there's 2 12x6 steels bolted together keeping the rest of the rear wall up which sits on a 12x12 column of thermalite block but the column does have a padstone and building control are happy with , need your expert opinionThey can't use sealed plastic bags because the gypsum mites would suffocate (@Nisus told me about them) and that would breach EU regulations on endangered species.
