I have been ringing around to locate some board finish and all you get is a sharp intake of breath before you get a no with one merchant not having seen any since March. Jewson?s have some but the nearest branch with stock is in Ripon N. Yorkshire. I got a bag of multi finish the other day, £12 and nearly had to pay for it with gold bars. How simple life was pre Covid - 19.

Production stopped in March and it has a fairly short shelf life. AFAIK production has restarted but perhaps they can't keep up with demand now that everyone is playing catch up. All our local builders are working flat out...
For some reason that reminded me of the joke about British Leyland workers working to rule and doubling production .....

Lol. Maybe lime plaster will make a comeback.
What about the Turkish stuff that is apparently available ?.
There was an item on the Jeremy Vine show about 10 days on this topic. Stories of fights in the carparks outside Wickes and other places as people tried to buy up as much as they could just before lockdown.
I though the 'modern' way was just to use tapered-edge board and tape/seal then sand the joints. No skimming at all.
