Did you get sorted?? Was offered work in Scotland couple weeks back may need to take up the offer soon

Has this been completed

Good guide and very interesting not the way I was taught when serving my time but can see why it would be a true and correct way to do things. Was always told that the secret to good plastering is good perpetration, this is evident here in the guide.

You get sorted??? Right money could pop over give you a pull out for few days???

Try thistle bond it mate, very rarely I would use Pva now,

Reason I asked we are heading to the toon for mates stag , 22nd feb if the magpies were at home that weekend would've liked to take a game in.

Are you a Geordie bubbles????

Mate has a load of spare tickets for this Saturdays fa cup tie at o.t., he runs a supporters club, trying to help him move them on at face value, any interest or know of anyone who maybe get in touch.

Only outsides ready at the minute can't get near them with weather, probably a month before the work we have inside is ready with sparks/ plumbers/ joiners all yet to first fix. Could do with an inside job to carry 4 spreads, long shot I know but you don't ask you don't get. Would consider...

People get the floor wiped with themselves very easily on here poor fella probably wishes he'd never asked

It's dead on here is it a January thing lol

Sell shitloads of drugs lol

Tbh mate you'd have thought I would but I haven't, musnt be too many family guy fans where I am, is the dog or someone in it Martin?!? That's me bro's name he too is a spread should get the van done with the whole griffin clan on the side of it lol

Now thats what I call hospitality cheers n I'll make sure to pay well for my stay :RpS_biggrin:

Back to topic have a 2500 sq/ ft house to look at today, inside and out, outside k rend, if I get that I'll not need to take up those fantastic offers of extortionate proportions, wonder how much a beer was in the 175 a night property, I'm sure breakfast was an extra maybe even a supplement for...

A root is a derogatory term, can be many variations of a root where I live, in Northern Ireland, ballbag, dickhead, toilet is one we are using quite recently? Prod/ taig thing quite sensitive over here so if I jumped the gun that's why. I am a prod by the way but let's not go into all that...

Thanks for all your help fellas lol. Lot of great advice there. What do you mean must ask be a prod gibbo you root???? What has that to do with anything???

I've been offered a bit of work in Walsall after xmas, can anyone help with general area knowledge I.e a place to stay( know of any rental properties/ landlords) and of what rates they are paying for acrylic render in that said area, so I know if I'm getting what I should be.

100% never used the credit card. Done one of a similar description a while back, patience and a lot of pointing trowel, small tool and sponge work, turned out fantastic customer delighted

Ooh this thread turned ugly quickly lol. I agree though if he can't skim or isn't sure on it he is no time served spread, he's kind of defeating his own question with his lack of experience admission. Good tip would be go serve your time mate

The famous stewie griffin lol

Not familiar with board finish bubbles, our skimming options mainly consist of carlite, also ultra finish, then the multi finish, and twice I've used knauf which doesn't leave as good a job in my opinion

I do indeed, just finished a double storey extension with it, boarded, floated with sand and cement ceilings bonded and entire place skimmed with carlite, great job.

How's best to upload pics onto here???? The woman we were working for today takes a great shot thought you lads would like to see it !!!

Make sure it's on straight/flat and you scrunt it at the right time, don't let the panel sit too long make life hard for yourself

It's still made no shortage whatsoever over here, anyone wants to order it gimme a shout, I'll put a quid a bag on it lol

We have always skimmed over plasterboard with it, never any problem, I'm amazed that none of you have seen it in years, still being produced en mass in Northern Ireland.

Things seem to be done differently in all sectors of uk, some like products and methods that others don't. We were forever using carlite until the multi finish came in. Plus points being price and setting time. Working on a site at the minute where builder wants to use carlite, haven't really...

Bondit I am indeed my man, doesn't seem to be too many of us on here.

I've a wall prepped yesterday with it, probably won't be back at job for a few days, what's the maximum I can leave before skimming? Haven't used it much before usually just use Pva.

It's the norm over here, always float onto blockwork.

We would get the joiners to plane some thin timber into a feathered edge and screw to the wall where it meets ceiling angle, levelling the feather edge and margin it from floor. Would then scrim and bond entire ceiling, getting it tight to the feather edge but just a few mm back to allow for...

Love multi finish now, easy to work with, just gotta stay on top of it if doing big areas, took a while to get used to quicker setting time when changing from carlite

Lol I'm viewing job on Friday guys chillax

Give me a shout, Stuart, 07814662471, we can organise a viewing if the forecast is correct I'll be working in Belfast rest of week

How do you pm on here can't see an icon??? I'm interested with it being local,

Lol, no worries lads cheers,

Just inquiring on other people's process to achieve this finish. We would apply base coat/ scratch coat around 10mm thick, keep very flat and neat, and set PVC angle beads/ stop beads with scratch coat. We would use a 3/1 sand cement mix with liquid waterproofer. Would normally allow to cure for...

Mate I'm just outside Belfast, northen Ireland.

Did these all go or do you still have them??? Just to clarify as we term them as screw guns over here, they are the belt fed makitas that you use the collated screws with??? Mainly used by ourselves for boarding???

And if you read the post correctly it gets 3 trowels or 4 if necessary, only difference is the water on first hit is limited or non existent.

Never left a rough wall in my life, the closing in trowel is done with little or no water so as not to fill any holes or blemishes with water as opposed to skim, too much water too early in the process will leave water marks as we call them when wall/ ceiling is finished. You'd be better not...

That is what we do on reskims, never had any bother, have never applied Pva the day before think its a totally unnecessary waste of time

No disrespect intended, but anyone who has to even ask advice on what I would class the very basics of the game is no plasterer. After 6 months or less of my apprenticeship I wouldn't have asked that question, I'm bewildered, but I don't want to come across as non helpful so my input is this; we...

Cheers and there will be no danger of that as banter for me is part and parcel of the trade, gets the days in quicker, thank you for the welcome
