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

Product Information

Blue grit, thistle bondit etc is another waste of time and money which offers no benefit over pva/sbr plus it has added drying time, uneven coverage and as you have already stated there are issues with plaster adhesion. With the popularity of bonding agents increasing, there’s now no excuse for anything but perfect plastering! Contains a fine aggregate that provides a mechanical key to backgrounds such as plaster, concrete, painted surfaces, textured surfaces and ceramic tiles. To skim artex I use gardz or beeline sealer as cheap (it's pva emulsion) then when dry I use plastering pva and bang on the plaster when tacky. They started to use modern glues and didn't need to be mixed with warm water and was not great if you did use cold water.

Used microgobetis on some ply on a soil pipe boxing in with fibres in skim and 100mm scrim and was fine still a few years on.Thst said, it should help you with the biggest problem with skimming artex which is that the water in the skim can soften the artex and make it come away from the ceiling which usually happens just as you are trowling up. 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.
