Has anyone used the above, if so what is their verdict, seems too good to be true. However as I have some plaster to sort I thought someone here may be able to give it the thumbs up or down!

seems too good to be true.
Probably cheaper to use joint filler. What's up with the plaster?

Somewhere in the recent weeks someone asked how to put the mess it made right, so he didn't seem too impressed.
It does seem very simplistic in the application tool to get decent results. Probably the same as everything else, an experienced plasterer would make a perfect job.

I think you would need *huge* amounts of it to do what it is suposed to do. If you think about how much plaster you need to do a room, this will be a similar amount.

This is true,you need some skill in plastering as this is what its supposed to go on like ie skim it over the surface.

It beats me why people fall for this kind of thing....they'll happilly pay £12.99 for crap like this instead of £4 for a bag of plaster!?!
That video shows him smearing the 'cream' over the dents and perfectly formed 'cracks' as if it really happens like that in real life - there's bits of old wallpaper, grit and all manner of lumps of what-have-you, dragging their way across the wall and gouging out the filler as they go, still, I suppose it keeps me in work....you'd be surprised at the amount of jobs I see where people say, "It was like that when we stripped the paper off"...meanwhile there's twelve empty pollyfilla tubs in the back yard and it looks like someone has put it on with a catapult.

Hah! so you sussed it as well ie they didn't show the bloke entirly skimming the artexed walls. :-)
I think it would make the wall all bumpy as everyone knows artexed walls are not consistant with the same protuding patterns,especially the dimple type artexed wall/ceiling
