Anybody used this for reskim over old bare plaster ? I'm thinking of trying it but want to know if it stops suction at all .

Is it their version of DG27 or parex microgobetis?

Yes but claims it's for plaster too , I haven't tried microgobetis on reskim so don't know if it holds back suction ?

@Plasterers1StopShop stock it. They should be able to answer your question. Was thinking of trying it myself. If my calculations are right a tub should cover about 60-70sqm. Vimark website states better adhesion but doesnt mention suction control.

It's usually in stock and goes a long way, you can water it down for high suction and kills it well.

Maybe 4/1
I have it not too wet as i prefer to brush on rather than roller.
You need to still have a bit of body to it in general but a little wetter on high suction. I have a spare bucket and just put in around a quarter at a time.
