Magnetic plaster? Where's that from?

 

[Marcr2712]

I got it from b&q quite expensive but makes a nice feature see link

Cool, thanks. Did you skim boards with it or does it need to be thicker?

 

[Marcr2712]

I had a friend do the plaster work, (something I’ve never done) it went straight on the wall after paper was stripped. he said he put it on a bit thicker than normal plaster just to make sure it worked.

I was up at one of the trade shows last year, and the guy on the British Gypsum stand offered to come down and bring a bag of the stuff for me to try. Didn't have a use for it at the time unfortunately, but it's pretty impressive.

I have seen "magnetic" paint before at a home exhibition. I think the plaster is similar in that it contains metal that can be attracted by a magnet. Metal won't stick to it, but magnets will.

Nice job on the kitchen it looks awesome
