yeah worked a treat, used it on the ceiling although there was only emulsion on it before hand.

I actually used it twice in different rooms, first room I used it straight from the tin, the 2nd time (on a plasterers recommendation) i watered it down with polybond and it went on much much easier - used a roller both times but the roller was fit for the bin afterwards so dont use good roller sleeves.

Also, a tip from my plasterer was wipe the stuff off anything it touches because after it dries it doesn't come off without a sander, if it splashes on a wall you're not getting plastered or even a window it will be VERY hard to get rid of

Any builders providers will sell it even B&Q 20 euro in B&Q and under no circumstances thin it out READ the small print on the bucket
