Have to say, the aftersales service from John @PFTscotland is amazing! I phoned him on a Sunday from an unknown number as I had no signal and he answered and fixed me straightaway. Man's deadly as is Elaine .

Maybe a wee while in this cooler damp weather, it's pretty forgiving stuff, I try and get an elevation on and then jump back and hit, stupid statement but watch your eyes, it's nasty and very abrasive on skin and seems to travel much further than s&c wet dash.

It's lovely stuff, far better than s&c, a lot messier though. Once dash receiver is on I just mix two bags at a time with a whisk in a large tub then split into 2 gorillas and fire it on and repeat till elevation is done.

In what way is it amazing ?

Finished slating this, ridge on and stripped scaffold ready for underbuilding.

Also, the aftersales service is amazing, best I have ever experienced.

@PFTscotland no mtec but they sell good machines.

Cheers, I love sand and cement but unfortunately the stuff up here at builders merchants is wank and the local quarry sand is to inconsistent, ok for building though.

Sorry for bringing this back @essexandy I probably missed it but why did u not use the machine ? Are u just happy with the traditional way? Sorry for being a nosey c**t lol.

Yeah just taped..

Yeah it's big.. top coat by hand. Bit awkward..

Day went great in the end had a blockage, purely because I didnt 100% listen to guy who taught us and tried to do something from youtube. I'm a fanny.. Anyway, job done, got to top coat it and the guy wants it done to look rustic so gonna hand apply top coat cos awkward and machine to fast lol...

No, last time I did that was a secondary school in southfields, london about 2002. It's usually cavity closers so insulation can get right up to reveal. Mostly timber frame up here though and windows etc sit flush with outside of cavity surrounded by a fire stop. Usually a 150mm minimum...

Ok. Up here every opening usually finishes flush with outside of cavity.

Well it doesn't make sense. You cock. Draw me a picture.
