Blue grit is an OK sealer and fine to skim on as suction goes most of the time, but sometimes I pva it and when sticky skim just because I know it will pull a bit too much especially on big areas. Having the option of leaving these tiles in place is a solution which is welcomed by many in the trade however it should be remembered that tiles cannot be directly applied to the bonding agent so it is essential that the surface is skimmed before any further work takes place.Gardz etc is for painting onto plaster before decoration, not before plastering and its not at all cheap and has no benefit over using pva.

Just that someone on here said whatever plaster I put on the ceiling will only be stuck to the last coat of paint used on the ceiling. 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. 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. Made with fine aggregates, Febond Blue Grit provides extra-grip and a mechanical key to aid plastering onto a wide range of surfaces. It contains a fine aggregate, provides a mechanical key to backgrounds such as plaster, concrete, painted surfaces, textured surfaces and ceramic tiles.Plastering is considered an art form by many, requiring expert precision and finesse to achieve the perfect finish, something which can only be achieved if the correct surface preparation is carried out beforehand. Containing a fine aggregate, it provides a mechanical key to backgrounds such as plaster, concrete, painted surfaces, textured surfaces and ceramic tiles.
