welll board addy as a retarder dident work for me , have a look at this link its the first time ive heard of it, anybody seen heard of it b4 http://www.chinasunbo.com.cn/en/ShowP.Asp?ID=6well i done it and i dident think much of it tbh or at least its not what i expected, i had a large wall to do about 60m2, in asdas and it was hot and humid the skim was going off really quick 2 of us done it each with a 3 bag gauge, i used 1 handfull of board addy to a 3 bag mix and it dident hold it back one bit just made it greasyim going to give this a try tonight, how much board addy should i use for a 2 bag mix mic?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'

"EDIT" reckons you can adjust the setting time of gypsum plaster
well when faced with the conditions that i had the other day you may think different dm the boards was warm the air the atmosphere was hot and i had a big hit to do when i came into work the other spread had already done his half of the wall and had cut it with scrim ready for me to do my half and he said there was a point at which he struggled but he had got it under control, so knowing this i decided to give it a go even with using the board addy the skim was going off quick so i guess that it didn't workIve never tried to ****** plaster and probably never will.
lol getting someone to help was out the question the other spread had already done his half by the time i got there i could hardly ask him to help me on mine he had done his fair share and went off for some dinner , there was a bit of a mix up over hours and he came in early thinking he may get paid for it but i was told you only get paid from 10 pm onwards so i came in 3 hours after him i wasent going to come in early and not get paid for itIf its a big lump just make sure you have enough trowels, 2 or 3.
Id be worried about it not working, and me thinking its going to, and it going off half way through, when i could have got someone else to help.
thats the next one ill try[. Cream of tartar works
i've heard cream of tartar works too, not had the balls to try it though
