Hiya Brian are is the cement for hand jointing or through your boxes. What's bad for boxes is sometime ok for hand jointing

hiya mate machines are going ok now was getting slightly stressed with them as I could get it neater hand jointing but think have it sussed now it was more about the first 2 coats than the last, as for the banjo gave it twenty minutes on friday but they wanted to close the site sharpish so I reverted to my normal method to make sure I got the house done before I got kicked out, I can see it working well but cutting the tape and cutting it in the right place is the hardest bit to master.

As for the cement I would go with Tony on the wondertex heard this week that interline was selling it for £9.90 I assume thats a pallet price though.

Why not use readymix? Its nit that much more expensive& saves alot if time mixing up& the end of a shift& sands like night& day compared to powder, gtec ready mix is absolutely brilliant to work with& sands in half the time of bg.

Another vote for gtec ready mix,great to work with and even better to sand.

Dmc i wouldn't go back to powder if i could help it, gtec rmix is far better to work with sands better and fries alot quicker to, it may cost a wee bit more nut the time you save on production makes it more than worthwhile, i take it you prefer this aswell?

Meant to say dries quicker& but the time f@#$%#&g smart phone.

I use the Gtec bag stuff,sands fine as long as not left for more than a couple of days in baking heat.The best stuff for sanding i have found was the arrow bag cement from walls and ceilings.You could rub an edge off with your hand when dry.
