British Gypsum Thistle Bonding Coat Plaster

British Gypsum Thistle Bonding Coat Plaster is a versatile undercoat plaster that can be used on smooth or low suction backgrounds such as tiling, concrete, plasterboard or surfaces treated with Thistle Bond-it (a bonding agent used to pre-treat smooth and/or low suction backgrounds). 

At its core, this lightweight, retarded hemihydrate is a pre-mixed gypsum plaster that comprises exfoliated vermiculite aggregate and only requires the incorporation of clean water to prepare it for application. 

Thistle Bonding Coat Plaster boasts a fine mix that ensures improved workability - rendering it hassle-free when it comes to spreading, ruling and Darbying. Thistle BondingCoat makes for a smooth surface on internal walls and ceilings, as well as serving as a substantial base for a range of decorative finishes. Although, it's important to note, that pre-treatment is required for painted surfaces.
