    Been using this product a lot lately. I wouldn't recommend it to inexperienced plasterers, or people that are slow. On larger areas I apply two separate coats as normal. On smaller areas I lay with the same mix but add a little water to it, knock it up with mixing drill to make it a bit more workable. Both methods work an absolute treat. All in all great its a great product.

      You’re not meant to shine lights across wall the standard is in normal daylight from a metre away, check out the British gypsum white book for finish standards.

    The only issue with using fast set over plasterers pre grit is it bubbles up it doesn’t like it you can see from this video it did exactly that , people seem to use pre grit on the wrong areas it’s purpose is for use on low suction vynl silk smooth concrete backgrounds etc hence the grit for a key

    I hate this stuff. B&Q don't stock the traditional multi finish. I thought i was buying the same stuff (packing is the same, minus the green square). Being a DIYer, who is decent at plastering, I wouldn't recommend this stuff at all to a beginner. Pro's will probably love it. Is the boardfinish the replacement for the old multi finish?

    • @jimmybaldwin737
      @jimmybaldwin737 11 місяців тому

      No. Board finish is made. Only for plasterboard use. It’s been around for years. But ring. All I use is board finish. I use it on any background. Ans it trowels up nicer than multi. I so t use anything else

    The thistlepro fast set is a good product for walls and small areas. Let’s cut right to the Chase the bloke hasn’t got a cue, the wall looks dreadful and you can see all the lines in the plaster. It’s a good job that’s not mine house what he plastered. 😂

      This guys mustard check his vids out really top spread, 2nd coating with the same gear doesn’t work unless it’s really watered down especially over grit the first coat really needs to pull in but this is how BG recommends using their product so he’s going to do it!

    Why do these how to plaster videos show poor working practice.....skim plaster should be applied in two separate coats ....first coat then another fresh coat for laying in. Stop teaching bad habits.

    • @Happytruth
      @Happytruth Рік тому

      There is nowhere where it states a fresh mix for a second coat unless you’re a college student, as long as a second coat is applied over the first it is still two coats.
      This guy is right If you use the product you will find it start becoming unworkable after at about 30 mins after mixing and is finished apart from a final polish at about 60mins, albeit you can polish an hour and a half later.
      So depending on how quick you are and how complicated your set is (angles, nibs and reveals)you’re limited to how much you can get on in 30 mins.
      I would say looking at the room he was in you could probably do two walls each set so that room would be done in 2 and a half hours without messing about mixing fresh plaster for laying in.
