Judging by the crack the rest is coming down too, I guess they will say distemper is the problem as that is there only get out of jail card.

Imagine it all started failing. Vincey would need to flee the country.

 

[irish_spread]

Worrying. Not convinced about uni at all

 

[irish_spread]

Wow, that's a ballache l glad no-one was under it. Keep posting so we see the outcome. BG should stick their head over the parapet.

They have said in the past that they will rectify any job where uni finish 2 fails. So.........

Just tell us what's caused it cos you'll be taking his call at BG

 

[Pagey]

Over board and skim is what I always try and push for hate going over artex as have had problems a few times but if not I always grit

 

[Arti]

Micro, all day every day. Tis the future my brothers

 

[Lastlaff]

How much product/field testing was done by BG?
Artex is water soluble and it then gets reactivated with the water from the plaster - that always leaves me flapping, (especially if the artex was put on top of dusty boards)...recipe for disaster - I've had it happen to me.
Question, I always spread on tacky pva, does everyone do that?

 

[Donzo]

Very useful,,,call them ,

I think it's better going onto dry pva personally
