A question to save hours of time

[skybluescooby]

Hello all,
The ma in law is getting her walls plastered next week and the guy who is doing it has asked her to get the gear, he gave her a list then asked me to get it, thing is i aint got a clue what to get, he said he gets the stuff from bnq.
His list is as follows.
4 x Multi finish orange
1 5l pva adhesive red
Now i'm guessing the colours relate to the colour of the packaging and with this in mind can anyone who has been to bnq translate this into brand named products and correct names please.
I dont want to spend my sunday going back and forth to bnq with wrong gear.
Many thanks

Best thing would be to ring him and ask.

I believe PVA Red means the indoor stuff (black label is waterproof). I use Unibond but other brands are cheaper.

I don't know the guy, he's a friend of a friend who's doing this as a cash in hand job.
I have just been lumbered with getting the gear.

thistle are quality manufacturers of finishing plaster (skimming).

two primary brands being;

thistle multi finish (orange bag) and thistle board finish (green bag).

i would imagine all the decent chemical companies turn out pva for internal use. unibond being synonymous and the best.
