Victas skimming

[Arti]

Anyone used it and can you just remove the existing skim around the inset fire and reskim with it?

I know victas recommend hacking off and using there render 1St but they're gonna say that aren't they

My advice but not correct get it on over the bonding and get the hell out of there! I’d even chuck a handful of cement in the finish !! Hindsight is a great thing if you don’t it won’t go of for hours ! Even blag em it’s victas just use multi and cement lol

I've used the fireproof finish once and I've sworn that I'll never use it again.
To be honest I thought that it was just cement that had been made slow setting.

I’ve been quite successful with vitcas but patience is the key with it. I manage to get it as smooth as finish. Can blend in with it too. It isn’t as bad as everyone makes out.

Here’s one I did t’other day

Just try it and see how it goes arti. I’ve done jobs on their proper board, using vitcas glue and then vitcas finish and it still cracked. Some of these fires are ruthless the heat they kick out.
