whats the best finishing plaster for taping and filling

[little5]

Hi, I normally use multi finish, but find it can go off quite quickly.
Is there any other finishing plaster that you can recommend?

Joint filler.

We normaly use easy fill I think if I was to use a finished plaster to tape and fill I'd be to tempted to keep going and do the lot .its one of my big hates in life taping is no quicker and its just as messy and the finish is s**t

in theory plaster skim, but it depends who is doing the work!! catch my drift

dont use multi for tape jointing?? WTF. multi is a slow set and it comes back with water but you could add cream of tartar to slow it up for those big monster sets on skimming. for tape and joint my preference is 1coat joint filler 2coats joint cement. it sands peesy

why in gods name would you use multi finish/finish for taping? ??? ??? ???

Easy fill/fast set, green or red bags. Bag or tub of joint finish, yellow bag/tub. 2 coats fast set 1 coat finish, sand with 120 when dry. It's no f**k**g hard.

Apologies if this sounds sharp, I'm in a s**t of a mood.

british gypsum or Knauf

if you really wanna tape and joint finish I would use easifill for small areas or joint filler followed by joint cement for bigger jobs. in my opinion you need a decent area to go at to be taping and jointing. Have you been jointing with skimming plaster??

 

[little5]

Yes, I have, dont to too sore, im a newbie

 

[plasterjfe]

I thought you were asking is skim or taped better? not what product. like above then, easi fill - or joint filler/joint cement
