Plastering - reminder...

Aug 29, 2010 2 Replies

Just going to make good behind the bog and round a window reveal tomorrow.



I need to use some bonding first to make up the thickness (about 5-8mm) then some multifinish on top.



How long should I wait after bonding before multifinish goes on? Can I do it all in one day?



Walls have already been PVA's once expect for a few bits, so that'll get done first too.



Thanks :)

Generally speaking, you should skim in the afternoon what you have roughed in in the morning, leaving it any longer than 24 hours, especially full walls, is a very bad idea. Bonding etc is ready to skim after about 3 hours

Cool - thanks Phil. That'll suit me just fine.

Last time I did it, I only had to use bonding to infil conduit chases and I did leave it, but I PVA'd them well.

This is a small job and idea for a plonker like me to get it all done in one go :)
