So how can sand be a better alternative grit than silicon carbide? Well, you can make sea glass with sand. Sea glass is often found at the beach as it results from broken glass that was tumbled in the waves of the ocean.

Do not dilute render pre grit and bond-it recommend a patch test be carried out on a small inconspicuous area to test compatibility prior to full application. I am refurbishing a kitchen and need the old artex ceiling skimmed. The original kitchen had cornice that went up to the ceiling so there are parts of the ceiling that have not been artexed only taped and sealed.
I have used PVA in the past in my own house and friends/family houses with no problems but I can’t remember skimming over silk painted artex which I have to do in this house, done plenty of stipple ceilings with no trouble.. Do not use on new cement when cement has not fully cured. Do not use when the temperature is below 5 degree C.
