Febond Blue Grit, Extra Grip Plaster Bonding Agent, 10 Litre

Product Information

Do you mean that the blue grit is only covering the raised pattern of the artex and not in the pattern? You should be ok leaving it 8 weeks before skimming but a coat of pva or even better sbr would be worth it, just make sure to let it dry at least until it is tacky.

Blue grit has failed for some but I think that's movement (flex) causing plaster to shatter and lose bond or heat from halogen wall or centre lights. Febond PVA is a multi-purpose adhesive, sealer, bonding agent and cement admixture, while Febond Blue Grit is an extra-grit plaster bonding agent. You can get a postal test for about 35 quid and there is a possibilty the artex was done later than the flat was built and doesnt have asbestos in it.It is often said that the plaster on top is only as strong as the bonding agent beneath so a good coverage is essential to ensure no weak spots are found once the plaster is applied. Made with fine aggregates, Febond Blue Grit provides extra-grip and a mechanical key to aid plastering onto a wide range of surfaces. Now there are a wide range of plaster bonding agents on the market which can speed up the preparation time and provide the perfect key to all surfaces; even the more problematic ones. Contains a fine aggregate that provides a mechanical key to backgrounds such as plaster, concrete, painted surfaces, textured surfaces and ceramic tiles. On smooth, non-porous substrates such as glazed tiles and concrete, further preparation is needed as the surfaces required a key for the plaster to adhere to.

When I’m able to work again I’m planning to use multi finish but should I apply another layer Of blue grit before plastering because of the months in between? Another benefit of Febond Blue Grit is that it is plastered over once dry, usually after around 6 hours, taking the guesswork out of drying times associated with traditional PVA methods. If nothing else it will be practice skimming but it will probably be alright if the paint isnt peeling away on its own.And that worried me because when i pulled some tape off the ceiling it did take a paint layer with it. These types of products are ideal for repair, maintenance and improvement projects where difficult surfaces are likely to be encountered and are a perfect solution in tiled bathroom or kitchen areas where the removing of old tiles could cause costly damage to the existing wall behind. With the popularity of bonding agents increasing, there’s now no excuse for anything but perfect plastering!
