Which "mud" do you use ? (3rd time of asking, is it a guilty secret?)



Ive already posted that information.


Is it air dry or quick set though?
You haven't answered that have you?



Combined air-drying and setting compound, workable for around 60
minutes. Another coat can be applied after around 4 hours but if sanding
is required between coats then it needs to be dry before another coat.


Look forward to the British Gypsum link ...

Applied to reinforce flat joints in skim finishes to plasterboard
backgrounds and ideal for placing over gaps and reinforcement to small
areas of damaged plasterboard.
Note: no mention of inside corners.

Please note that Thistle ProTape is not a direct substitute for Gyproc
Joint Tape. Where there is an increased risk of cracking, or where
joints exceed 3mm, the joints are to be reinforced with Gyproc Joint
Tape bedded in Thistle plaster.
Note: Gyproc Joint Tape is their paper tape.
