Little tip when doing the chases mate sponge off the edges makes them look a lot neater 👍🏻

Hi, so it's perfectly fine to use multifinish over bonding?

[@mikenguyen1578]

Hey - noticed you used 2 different finishes; filler for one area and then multi finish for another. what would be the difference? thanks!

[@andrewschannel3635]

Multi finish requires two coats so too fussy to use in small areas. The filler wouldn’t be great for larger areas as it almost always requires sanding afterwards.

Weird that it wasn't explained in the video! Seems like filler is the way to go for a novice/DIYer

Is the 10KG tub of Thistle Bonding 60 already to be added to the wall? Is it mixed? Do we have to add water?

[@seinundzeiten]

what substance makes this particular mud brown? I thought gypsum was just white.

I have removed kitchen tiles in advance of re-tiling. On removing the old tiles, I am left with the bare wall being roughly 50% clean plasterboard showing through and 50% a thin (1 or 2mm) scattering of plaster, the rest of the plaster is on the back of the tiles. What would you recommend please and when, if ever, should PVA enter the process.
