Vitcas heat resistant plaster

[northyskim]

bit of a stupid question
but as iv never used it

does it go on to bricks and become finished product
or is it just top coat on top of s&c

 

[Jace]

ive used it a couple of times mate but ive only use it onto sand and cement sooooo i would say top coat only mate

I also never used does it do the job?

no victas sell 2 different products , one they call a screed , this you render with , and they a finish which you plaster with , t and c apply

 

[Jace]

it shouldnt crack but if i does after the first fire up fill it and it will be fine it wont blow like gypsum will, make sure you get the finish perfect cos once it sets it f ucking rock solid and if you want to sand it down anywhere your gonna struggle, my experience with it is its like spreading.............i wanna say tar so ill stick with that for now (unless anyone else has a better description) hangs around for ages then suddenly goes, so if youve never used it mabey just keep a very close eye on it

tar with treacle mixed in :RpS_thumbsup:

but im sure a s*p*r*lex would sort it out better quicker and easier on the body
