I've put bonding on 25mm thick in one hit, then another 20mm on a few
hours later, but it takes some drying out!

Bonding shoulkd be mixed similarly to skimming but not as wet,
especially if you want to put it on in thick coats...don't try to get
it on in one if it's above 10mm as it may sag and cause bulges, put
on about 7mm at a time and leave for 10 minutes, also, don't wet the
wall too much beforehand, just a few splashes to reduce some of the
suction.

another tip: skim bonding or browning within 8 hours of putting it on,
leaving it 'til the following day makes it too much like hard work -
most plasterers will only 'rough-in' (bonding/browning etc) what they
are capable of skimming the same day

Good stuff,managed it in one coat. ;-)
