Doesn't like going on too heavy and you need to be between 4 and 6mm for best stickyness

At 4-6mm what sort of coverage per bag would you expect per bag?is that that the specified depth?i would like to use it when I get the chance,at the price it's not something you can just have a go at unless you want it in your own home.

Around 5m a bag but you could stretch it by being tight at the tops of the walls which your not gonna use the space.

5m2 is about right... but I seemed to get more on... I will find some shots when I get back home and post them to give an idea how far it went

Alot easier on new boards or quite flat walls CUs if u overskim a all over the place wall u find it hard to get the depth needed for the weaker magnets to work 5mm at least

Ooo ill make my excuses with the mrs

My plan when or if i get to use it would be to lay on 3mm then flatten and run a light brush through it. Leave for 2/3 hours and apply a second 3mm and finish.

yup pretty much

 

[flynnyman]

How I do it is quite simple if it's a Five metre wall use one full bag if it's ten metres use two

I didn't want to overload people with figures but if the wall is 7 and a half metres use a bag and a half
