What we all working on this week ?

[Ben-gee]

No that’s not what I meant mutley.

multi- finish is the product name.

The usual method is to apply it in two layers, the second being applied whilst the first is still live - it’s getting the timing right that is the trick.
Same again in terms of timing for your final trowel up; too soon it all moves around too much and goes wavy; too late and .... well it’s too late!

Ah I see Ben-Gee. But, you could keep adding coats on top until you get it to a level you are happy with hey?

 

[Ben-gee]

Don’t want to make the room too much smaller though!

Bathroom is coming together nicely kop.

 

[SimonG]

Looks nice but them floor tiles will be a bit slick with water on them.

Really like the grey wall tiles.

Easy to order a Marshalltownntrowel but getting hold of some finish plaster....in my dreams. Bought a bag of lime and a couple of bags of sand so going to have a go on my garage wall this weekend.

Yes Mutley its levelling compound topps fast track stuff goes off quickly and leaves a hard clean surface to tile onto prime with sbr the old floor and before levelling, and again before tiling i couldn't build it up to much nearer to the doorway . Kop

Not that bad bud

 

[ShaunCorbs]

It’s decent stuff but need to prime the floor first

use it to fit a range cooker where the cus didn’t have any more tiles went off like a rocket and hard

Three hours to fit an outside tap on a new build this morning, I had a nightmare!
Hardly any space between fittings and the shelf wouldn’t come out. Tightening up the isolation valve and the two soldered tees straight after the stop tap came apart. They were butted together and no solder inside either fitting! Just the lip of either tee.
Easiest £60 I ever made

Ugh, I feel for you. I have been there many of times.

New build plumbing is abysmal, throw it in and get away. No thought for future repairs or work. But if you're being paid bottom dollar.......

It should still be a set standard though mate. I want to know who signs this stuff off before the plasterboard goes up and is skimmed.

I agree but it seems nobody gives a monkey's.

Took a bath out of a new build to put a shower in, bloody thing fell out. Water stains on plasterboard under bath from it leaking. It was only 6 months old.

I see it all the time mate. My estate is a new build and there is loads of others by where I live.
