Has anyone encountered a shortage of plaster in the sheds?

Yes, it has sold out Countrywide.
The factories have started up again this week, so expect it to be

back
in stock in 2 or 3 weeks time.
The builders merchants will get theirs before B+Q et al.

Perhaps I should ebay that nearly full bag of bonding I have in the
shed, see what it will fetch! :-)


Couldn't give away a bag of finish or bonding earlier this week. Mind
you it is dated 2012. For small areas you just about have enough time
to mix, whack in, flatten and polish, provided you don't hang about,
before it sets. B-)


Pretty much why I keep and old bag of bonding - just the thing to set a
socket back box into when the wall has fallen to bits round the hole.


I made sure I was stocked with plaster, both bondage and finish. Of course I can't actually go where it is to get it!
