Sizing a wall

Krispy77 · 20 Feb 2010

Hi,

How much paste should i use to size a 2.7m x 2.3m room? I'm using Mangers and ave 3 sachets.

Was thinking half a sachet....

Hard to say.. I usually mix it by sight/feel..
Ive not used Mangers so cant say how good it is..

I tend to mix the paste for size just the same as if i was pasting paper. it will always dry out. Depends how porus the surface is. Probably use more than half a sachet.

Cheers guys, went ahead this morning.

Mixed just over half a sachet with about 9 litres of water. Was pretty watery and dried within the hour. Hope it wasn't too diluted and the lining hardly slides when it comes to putting it up!!

I usually size the wall 5 minutes before I peper with a slightly more diluted mix of the (SOLVITE) paste Im using

No sure when i'm going to get time to line it yet but once you've sized a wall, it's sealed.

Or is it better to strike while the iron's hot
