Most plaster is gypsum based. It all depends on the quality and what's added that dictates how it reacts when adding retarders after manufacture.
Multi is an indication the plaster in question can be used on multi surfaces.

Most gypsum mined in England is pink and yes there are some grey deposits. Over the pond it's grey mainly. Depends on the impurities, some gypsum is brown.
France has pure gypsum that is white. Plaster of Paris. The USA has some pure gypsum but they can no longer mine that area, conservation.
How much grey finish have you opened? Gives you a clue as to what is mined in England.
Much of the gypsum is also synthetic a product from electricity stations. This has changed plaster production.

Plastering for 40 years.
your missing the point i have told you what you got wrong multi and bonding or carlite are gypsum based yet you said that multi is carlite based end of story as far as im concerned, now you are preaching to everybody that most plasters are gypsum based "which" we all know, you are also posting pointless links to the bg site , coming on here and saying that you worked for some company and you have got 40 years experience don't impress me one bit espec when you say im talking **** for passing a tip on that other plasterers use and you have never heard of

You seem to have a socialising problem. You don't have a clue about gauging plaster, that much is very clear. To add adhesive weakens the mix drastically.
Probably done an NVQ and think you know it all, a little knowledge is dangerous.
Keep up the work because it keeps real plasterers in work putting right what you get wrong.
You missed the point and the link was provided to show that Carlite is still about and a multi finish with a similar composition to Thistle multi, arguing semantics is going down a dead end and a detraction from you giving us an explanation to the science in mixing additives.
Simple things please simple minds.

You are the one who needs to ****** your mixes. Don't know a pro plasterer who needs to
Stick to DIY.
Notice you ran from explaining the science, you keep running.
Project I was invited to work on, don't expect to see your type on these jobs, a blessing.

If you've spent a lng time plastering and never come across a batch of finish that is quick/tart/fresh/warm/fast (whatever the local lingo), or had to work in a place that is very hot (eg dormer floor on hot day, bedroom ceiling where heat is on etc) then you are very lucky indeed.
Adding board adhesive is pretty standard fare in the trade. If you add much more than a handful it can make the gear a bit 'greasy' , but like adding carlite finish to board finish to slow down a mix, won't do any harm whatsoever.
Like using dirty water or doping your mix to speed up a hit , nothing out of the ordinary.
For a learning experience, use a quarter bucket in a cupboard and see how it goes - then make your own mind up.

You have just reminded me i have a loft to do, all board work in 4 weeks, and if its warm, its gonna be about a million degrees up there! It will go off in about 10 seconds!!!!lol
Going a bit further back, we used to put a couple of handfuls of lime into a bucket of siraphite.
