plasterboard joint compound alternative

rebelbuttmunch · 22 Feb 2011

Hi

Can I use bonding or skimcoat as a substitute for jointing compound. I already have the mesh tape over the joints.

Thanks!

It's not really suitable, finish doesn't sand down to well or that easy in comparison and will leave scratch marks.
Bonding will be much more gritty and you wont get a smooth finish.
If you are joint taping best stick with the joint compound or just skim the whole wall.
