It’s different to Boral’s hard plaster, that can only be applied to solid masonry/concrete surfaces. The multi finish can be applied to Gyprock.
Looks like there are now several companies…

Looks great. Did you use any sealer?
alexf40 posted:Sealing and epoxy coating moist garage floor
After taking another look. I like your idea of not filling the joins. Means I can do it in sections and once finished I can just silicone them.

I discovered the FEG system on the Lincoln Sentry website, but they couldn't be any more unhelpful. They won't give out any details of anyone…

Hmm completely forgot about the water pressure difference. I really don't want to have taps blasting out water and soaking the kitchen, perhaps it's not worth the cost saving here.

We're also looking…

Hi,
I'm after external render bead, both corner and stop beads. However Bunnings and H&G don't sell it.
Can anyone recommend anywhere around Manly Vale/Brookvale which will sell it?
Cheers
