![]() He also mentioned mist coat may help multi-finish not to crack but is the wrong way as primer should be used. I asked for benefits/advantages on his so-called technique to which he replied: It's more flexible & lighter than multi-finish due to thinner layer, you get a smoother soft painted finish, less chance of condensation/mold as more breathable, less chance of cracking especially on ceilings/stairs. He said if it can be used for patchworking pb or for joints etc then why can't it be used on the entire wall or pb? I questioned why British Gypsum are advertising easi-filler as part of their repair range to which he remarked it is a marketing ploy. He sent me photos, offered to show me his finished work (after painting) in other jobs that he has done & sent me Canadian YouTube videos on Drywall Installation. He mentioned it is very popular in Europe & that England should really adopt this approach. Online forums suggests easi-filler is the wrong product but my worker is absolutely convinced it is the best premium product to use. ![]() In fact they now tell me that all the walls/ceiling with the paper-thin white coat of easy-filler will need to be fully sanded down with a machine before painting?! Also they have not used corner beading on windows stating they will just sand it down. I was expecting the usual brown-coloured skimming (Multi-finish?) ready for my painter to paint. To my disbelief, they told me this was the finished product & invoice is due. I initially thought ok this is maybe just prep work with PVA/Primer or just a 1st coat. However they skimmed my whole house with a paperthin coat of easifiller 60 & the plaster boards are showing through. So far they have been very courteous & not asked for any money upfront. Based on their glowing reviews it now appears they are more of a painter/decorator company. I chose a Ltd company whose quote was the highest thinking I would not have any issues if I went with them.
