mixing multi finish plaster

[joe23]

can anyone tell me how much water i should use to mix a 25kg bag of thistle multi finish?

all help gratefully received

What's the size of the wall? Never mix more than you can manage to lay on the wall in 20mins. 25KG is too much. Start with a bucket of water and add/mix until you get a creamy consistency.

thanks

i did mix a whole bag before and got it on wall ok but now i cant remember how much water i used.

You use 1.5 litres of water to 2.5 kg of multi-finish plaster. This on average will cover 1 square meter. For those who don't agree ask British gypsum. after all they make the stuff.

All Joe23 had to do was look at the back of the bag.

It's another two years older now and British Gypsum has probably been taken over by a foreign company, plus the original posters house is now a playing field.

Isn’t it amazing how time flies.

He will need a new bag.

Well that's wafted a breath of fresh air through this post .. while everyone's refreshed after a long interval and now aware of new products on the market since clay and wattle, has anyone experience of a French product called Lutece 2000L .. the L meaning a longer workable product that's supposed to be the bee's knee's as a one coat plaster especially in older buildings were a board finish would not be appropriate.

Cheers Mick.
