Use bauprotec, sprays like a dream and good to skim days after. Depends how much you need though because I think only smet stock it.

Cheers will look into it. How much is it roughly per bag

Can’t remember the cost but they was 30kg bags. Good coverage and good to rule and float. Better to over order on gear because the shipping was the same for a few pallets or part pallet. Did a full farmhouse with it, was impressed with it. Went through about 5 pallets.

CPI general purpose the best to skim over...have seen it in Selco on the shelf recently. MS20 also good haven't used it since they added waterproofer to the recipe we used to dose it up. Did take a will to dry though 48 hours until you can skim it.

You shouldn't be skimming any sand and cement 48 hours later, let alone sooner you chancer.

VPI Monogris is similar. About £3 a bag cheaper too. No shipping nonsense either.

Well I'm going to take "a bit senile" as a compliment.
"a bit off?" of course they are dealing with you bunch of c**ts lol.
