    Does anyone one use Bal Quickset render for patch work rather than using normal rapid set ? Is it better to trowel on and smooth off.

    BAL Quickset Render

    Anybody used BAL Quickset Render? I have some lathe and plaster walls that have had some plasterboard insert put in but not level, and also some areas that are quite deep that I need to fill. This seems to be the ideal stuff, anybody used it?
