Is that carlite stuff still knocking around somewhere? I’ve never seen or used it but folk on here said that was white

It's white, I've used it on plasterboard but because it's so gritty it definitely needs two coats.
In the 80's Blue Circle used to make a white plaster called snow-plast that was good on plasterboard because it was finer than one-coat.
There was grey and pink it came from different BG plants.

I have not seen either for years.

Up until Multifinish came out all the BG Carlite plasters in Scotland were grey.

That was to match your national demeanor.
It was a b*****d here in Essex you would have a mix of one colour then the next mix would be the other colour.

Yep put on with pink, lay in with grey, or vice versa.
We did a job years ago where we'd gone through doing all the opposites in pink and when the builder turned up with more gear it was grey. The client liked it so much that they painted the walls that colour scheme.

Beautiful gear to use over hardwall floating coat.

To be fair Multifinish is just as good for going over Hardwall, suction is the key. In more ways than one. Trouble is most skimmers are scared shitless of suction nowadays.
Each had their pros.
For reskims and going over s**t walls and artex, multi was better. It's got more coarseness to it, it always dubbed better.
For fine neat work, the other battered it. If you had decent board work or nice floated walls, that silk was a pleasure to use.
When you jumped back on multi - it was a FFS mo.
That said Multi isn't as good as back then either.
I can remember the actual job where I thought what the actual f**k is this s**t...... And it has stayed that way...

I’d doubt it very much, comes ready to spray in a bag
The self finishing plasterers come ready mixed in a bag. I pour a bag full into a large mixing bucket keep it covered as it sets on contact with air. Just use a jug to place it on to your hawk. I KNOW IT WILL NOT WORK ON A HANDBOARD.
