MikeGrahamT21 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi, I've emailed BG about this but with everything going on I think they are operating skeleton staff, as i've had no reply yet, pretty sure someone will know the answer to this on here... As most people are finding, Multifinish is hard to come by. I've got my bags of hardwall ready to start the basecoat, but can I do the basecoat and have it totally dry before doing the top coat? If so i can get that done and scratch it ready for the MF when its back in stock. My dad seemed to think it shouldn't be totally dry, but i'm not convinced it matters, and can always spray with a bit of water before the MF if needs be?

nod Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 You should be able to get multi finish I was talking to the rep yesterday He was saying that production is back to normal Depending on how experienced you are at plastering You can get all your floating done Then damp the walls down before you skim Years ago we would float a full house out and go and board the next one while the joiners would put the skirts and arcs on It was unheard of to fit skirtings to skimmed walls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 15mm stop end trims to nail on as a depth guide to ensure it'll be perfectly level ready for the top coat. Just checked wickes again, and the stock is getting closer, so maybe another couple of weeks and it'll be in the local store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
