Update chaps after talking to Aqualisa technical , I have adjusted the processor control unit to HP eco mode from combi mode this reduces the flow by 2 litres a minute and removed the flow limiter it is not guaranteed to work faultlessly and can fluctuate slightly on temperature but a 2 litres a minute saving is worth trying also getting a grate made with 40 extra holes so should help.

The grate looks good mate.
Not fully yet mate. 1 more week and then I’m going to up my game.

Get some plasterboard in the garage and give it a go. Had to self teach myself after being let down all the time. I'm definitely slower but can get a good finish.

Yes I have been thinking this. Did you use a practice plaster mix (lime and sand) on the plasterboard. Notnsure if it would stick to that or not?

 

[Ben-gee]

Just use multi finish, think of it as an investment in your future happiness, not having to try and grab a plasterer at short notice when all the walls fall apart as some as you drop your tool bag a bit heavily on day one!

I see. Just keeping adding layer after layer until I can get a decent finish. Nice idea. Thanks

I use multi finish as it stays open longer.
