And yeah we’ll tell them that, we’ll tell them that We’ll take it off the map As we do our little rap Can’t remember the next line :chica:

Shut up

Hic!

Like I said, don’t push your luck. There’s a fine line between banter and being a c**t. Your post is hardly pressing when it comes to the worlds problems, so don’t over shoot .If you’re so clever, you wouldn’t need to come on to a forum to ask a ‘thick’ plasterer what to do so have some f**k**g...

I’m just a chancer mate. Best of luck

Don’t push your luck

If it’s solid , just skim over it bonding out where necessary

Take frame out, hack off plaster a few inches. Overhang pb

No you haven’t

Now now Pauly. Atleast I was being serious

I’d probably use CTS on that

Yes you did, but re-read your post I replied to, then refer back to your first post.

Are you asking or telling?

You use what you need to use to do the job. You either factor that in to the cost of the job, or you suck it up, no pun intended.

Not so much losing, but getting a reality check.

shut up

Shut up Skiddy

Skimmed over bare plaster skim ceiling this week. Couple of thin coats of sbr and thin coat of pva. Like skimming plaster board.

Well if you’ve spotted there’s no bog brush, just fold and put a bit of loo roll in the pan first. Helps keep it clean :coffe:

You’re only going to be able to work to the flatness of the existing wall. A speedskim is not really the same as a feather edge when you’re going for flatness with a backing coat

They can’t get the staff down here :coffe: Put a long day in and nearly a 3hr drive before that. All good though mate. Will be raring to go again in the morning:sleep:

Working down in Bristol at mo mate. Just having a couple of pints

I hope you enjoyed yourself

Light blue one

It's a pity you wern't around a couple of years aback when the CHD was running.

Just do what you feel comfortable with, as the race is only with yourself so to speak. Don’t try and skim over bonding too early though. Just because it’s gone off doesn’t mean it’s ready for skim as you’ll get blebs, which are like large pimples that you’ll struggle to flatten. When it starts...

stick with it…it’s fine. It takes time to break a new trowel in and bigger doesn’t equal better when you’re a beginner.

Happened to me a couple of times and it ain’t nice tbh. The worst time was when I completely flooded my eye with plaster, so went to A and E as just round the corner. I think the clean up and the plastic gizmo they put in your eye is worse than the feeling of the plaster tbf. Most of the time...

You’re I’m still ok :coffe:

Not neat

I love coving myself when it’s in other people’s houses

Keep trying, someone will take you on and all the best (y)

Occasionally use it if walls are really porous but usually put on a couple of pissy coats followed by pva. Still has a bit of suction but nicely tamed.

Well, not a total disagreement as such, but I’ve never heard of asbestos in wall paper or plaster apart from artex obviously, so I wouldn’t be concerned. If people want to get testing done, then that’s their prerogative I suppose. There are a few other areas where you might find it (old floor...

Try not to withdraw too much energy…you’ve got a long day tomorrow at the back of Rackhams.

But you’ve still got the soggy stuck together pages of them stuffed under your mattress mate. Always nice to look back Ah the memories

Good question. Like I said, money in a bag is a different conundrum. It’s potentially associated with being dirty and crime, and we’re programmed in that respect. I’ve never had a substantial amount of cash in my possession, so putting it in a bag in the loft doesn’t equate in my world. Tbh, I...

Money is just one way in life. Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather have more money than not enough, but like the guy he handed it back to…it was very matter of fact. He remembered enough to offer a token thank you,a reminder of his past possibly, but he had no current understanding of what that...

I’d have handed the purse back mate. No fun when you misplace your wallet and the stress involved. Bag of cash…tough one, but I’d probably have kept quiet. Cash in a bag tells many stories tbf. You could always ease the conscious by making a partial donation to whatever you deem to be a just...

At least you can hold your head up high whilst eating s**t on toast Hector :coffe:

Make sure you get a water brush on your angles…not too soon though.

Where’s that then monkey?

Correct, which is why you’re NOT going anywhere near them with your trowel

Like Wooky hole

I’m not that good

And lowering morale?

Yes, your mitres off :coffe:

Yes, wear armbands

You’d start calling a hand board a hawk after witnessing what I saw Hector. May pop it in the private members (y)

Too big a wall for a beginner and the door makes it awkward but good for having a go. Sbr is a bit like whiskey. Some people drink it neat, some with water.
