and i am been charged 900 per sqm for a simple gypsum/pop mix.......i just laughed.

gbadexy:

The POP/gypsum cement mix makes use of the gypsum as the main binder and it's action is as a result of swelling of the individual powders when in contact with water (hydration).
This squeezes tight together with themselves and the powder aggregate of the pop emulsion paint which is mainly calcium carbonate powder on one hand, and the expansion within the pores and crevices on the surface it is applied on the other hand to hold on to the surface.
The acrylic putty makes use of acrylic binder that bonds on both the pores and every surface in contact with.
From their mechanism of bonding, the POP/gypsum cement mix bonds to the wall due to the expansion of the powders with tiny pores and application of force or shock can dislodge.
Further contact with water would still cause it to expand and swell after application which makes it unsuitable for anywhere with exposure to water.
The acrylic putty doesn't have that disadvantage. You would need to chisel or use scraper with considerable force from a heavy object to scrape it off the surface and water doesn't easily affect it except solvents like paint thinners.
The POP/gypsum mix is somewhat more smoother after application and it hardens fast, although it would still need several days to dry fully before it can be painted on.
It can also be mixed with P.V.A binder to have similar advantage of bonding better to any surface as the acrylic putty, but it's not as water resistant as acrylic binder.
The acrylic based putty doesn't dust powder(chalk) after it is sand papered prior to painting unlike POP/gypsum mix. Addition of sufficient P.V.A binder also minimizes chalking after sand paper.
As regards cost comparison, I understand the POP/gypsum screeding is charged from N500 upward for materials and labor while the screeding putty varies depending on price of the brand of the putty. it's at an average of N550 to N650 per sqm including materials and labor for putty of N6500 to N9000 per drum at spread of 18 sqm per drum and N200 to N300 per sqm for labor.

@gbadexy and @Diodaves....una too much. I got to know of the ready mixed screeding putty in this forum. But the person i am contracting doesnt seem to know about it and is stuck gypsum cement and POP emulsion. Good to know that there is some level of expertise needed for using base coat. So i may just allow him use his old method.

please what are the merits and demerits of both methods and what is the cost comparism?

gbadexy:

I would attempt to try and shed some light on what I think he is trying to describe. He may comment otherwise to further clarify if not.
The ready mixed screeding putty also called basecoat is also used in wall screeding and it is a thick paste with acrylic as the binder.
It doesn't set fast unlike the regular gypsum cement and pop emulsion combination. it dries slowly and would need to be given second or finishing coat several hours to next day after first coat is sufficiently dry.
Not all screeders can apply the basecoat due to the slow drying time and relatively softer mix compared to gypsum cement/pop emulsion paint mix.
An experienced screeder should be able to apply any form of screeding material though.

well said.

Chukwuka16:
It's a lie.

In the words of Benjamin Disraeli, “There are three types of lies – lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Where is the database of births and deaths in Nigeria?
When BVN was introduced, how many valid bank accounts were recorded?
Even the ongoing registration of SIM cards is singing a different tune.

Let's not allow the UN and other external bodies tell us how many we are. It is our responsibility to have in place a system that captures that fairly accurately.

Until we sort this out, social programmes will never achieve the intended aim.

No but go and redo any expired results. You can't recreate a profile without it, and if PEI operates on express entry, you must have a functioning profile to receive your nomination.
