Automatic and hand tools, sanders, stilts etc. What's hot and what's not.

Not my cup of tea. Easy to sand, cheap and doesn't blend in as nicely as BG.

Only tried it the once but I thought the stuff was OK. Lightweight and it sanded easily.

got used to it after a while, Best thing about it was the EMPTY buckets
Still got about 50Milk No Sugar.

Thanks for the replies guys, as I'd never used it before I was a bit apprehensive.
It's in powder form not ready mix though.

Been using the ready mix during the week and had to put a 220 grade paper on the sander as it was tearing the compound to pieces. Definitely more like a USG blue top than a BG type harder compound. Shame about the £18.50 a tub price tag.
