same as!o i see!
i just time every set @ 3 hours both coats troweled up finished washed up, as for knowing how much to put on, on  flat walls, on my own i knock up a bag and a half, then just give the first bit a light touch, if its still sticky ill have a ciggy or maybe a brew while i wash bucket then flatten it, it should leave a print where you touched it but definately not a spike as you remove your finger
what happens if you get to 40 minutes and you havent finished your wall??![]()
Customers look at you like you've lost the plot when you try to explain that skimmin a small area takes almost as long as skimmin 2 big walls in one set. It seems to defy the laws of physics and they must think you're just trying it on for a bit of extra wedge.What i hate is small sets they do my head in cant handle waiting aroundBloody end up smoking my self to death and there are only so many cups of tea or coffe you can have.
