Has anyone tried it yet? As a DIY plasterer it seems ideal - no PVA needed as with "multi" and seems to go over anything (including gloss paint!). Quite expensive though - twice the price of "multi".
Been around about five years or so,didn't like,& that's being polite, too expensive,prefer my multi finish. Might be a different recipe now, but there were issues with it when it first came out.
Yes I'm always a bit suspicious when the only glowing reports are from the manufacturer. I get on OK with multi but the PVA stages are a bit tedious and messy (for me) - hence my question. Thanks for that.
Think the trade is divided. I believe that there were problems when it was first introduced...now rectified, so prob still has a bit of a bad rep. Only way to find out is to try it.
Used it on a job last year, worked well on walls with variable suction, I'd use it again. Expensive though - the guy in the shop was embarrassed by the price, about double the price of multifinish IIRC. Not sure it's any better than painting on pva, but saves mess and time.
Thanks for that feedback 2shortplanks. Well I decided to splash out and bought a 25kg bag (from B and Q - no-one else here stocks it and most had never heard of it!).. will be trying it out over an Artex ceiling tomorrow (knocked of most of the spikes and no - it's not the asbestos type) Thanks again for replying
I don't think your going to like it... And I reckon you'll end up priming ceiling with pva dilute 4-1.
