what should the finish on wp1 look like?

[2010]

I just gave my job the first coat of wp1 today, i applied with a trowel as a brush seemed to put hardly an on the boards are lafarge aquaboard and has a plasticy finish so that makes it harder to take, should i coat until its solid grey or just give it another coat and thats enough

Looks as if it needs another coat, the finished thickness should be around 2mm, similar thickness to a plaster skim.

thanks, its due another coat as that was the first and used a full tub, should it be a solid grey when done or translucent ?

If it's 2mm thick, it should look solid grey.

Yes, you shouldn't be able to see the background through it

What camera and lens are you using there?

That's one of those ones property agents use to make a tiny room look huge!

Its called a fish eye lens, its so you can see a wider angle otherwise you would just see part of the back wall

While we're back on this thread, I tanked a wet room with WP1 yesterday and while I was waiting for 1st coat to dry, I had a read of the leaflet in the box, it says that the maximum weight on the finished surface is 32kg per m2, worth remembering if you've got some chunky stone to fit.

yes i saw that and also read that membrane is 22kg so the liquid is better for heavy tile it seems

I thought the membrane was more than 22kg as it's hanging on a single part flex.???
