Dunno what you’re laughing at it’s not as stupid as yours! But still a s**t idea lol.
what do you use to fit beads on 1 BOARDDunno what you’re laughing at it’s not as stupid as yours! But still a s**t idea lol.
what do you use to fit beads on 1 BOARD
2 RESKIM
3 BRICK/BLOCK
I used to use staples,gear and pink grip in the old days.
To me there's a fundamental issue that I can't grasp , why do people think their are holes in the beads lol , I get it that people want to do as much prep as they can and don't want to push them into the first coat , especially a wall with multiple windows and one coating , am I seriously the only one to do this as standard practice

Yes your F*****g mad!!!
Do you think its the strongest fix once setSetting beads on prior makes job easier. Most here don't. I mostly sit in plaster but prefer to bead day before if possible
Do you mean as in first coat of two coat skimming and if you do you must leave first coat a while to stiffen up.To me there's a fundamental issue that I can't grasp , why do people think their are holes in the beads lol , I get it that people want to do as much prep as they can and don't want to push them into the first coat , especially a wall with multiple windows and one coating , am I seriously the only one to do this as standard practice
Agree , I'm not a skim monkey , yet , lol but those who staple , OR tape will still have to be careful not to knock out of alignment , a two coat with firming first coat is much strongerDo you mean as in first coat of two coat skimming and if you do you must leave first coat a while to stiffen up.
If so that is old school and most spreads now go straight on with second coat.

Why , what's a staple going to do , a clout will fix the point of contact , what about the length between them , creating hollow patches under the metal
ok, got you now. yes your way is probably best but too slow imo for a lot of jobs.Agree , I'm not a skim monkey , yet , lol but those who staple , OR tape will still have to be careful not to knock out of alignment , a two coat with firming first coat is much stronger
The holes are their for a reason , why do you think ,
how many windows?Am skimming tomorrow will time myself when sticking on thincoat beads to window reveal, even now am thinking gonna be under one minute
Don't think that a plasterer who leaves first coat to firm is wasting any extra time , with that technique you just put more walls on ,ok, got you now. yes your way is probably best but too slow imo for a lot of jobs.
you would not shift a bead that has been taped it is held solidly unlike staples.
the holes in bead can be filled with plaster from either side ie.pressed onto skim or skim pressed trough bead.
Thats why my tape has holes, so simple like me.
Your late today lol , I thought with it being Sunday you'd give him a day offWhere are all these other reviews about your poxy tape from members of TPF???
One mate all my internal work is refurb of older propertieshow many windows?
He either don't comment on my posts or he’s put me on ignore! Hahahahaha!!!!Your late today lol , I thought with it being Sunday you'd give him a day off
so whats your method statement for a reskim on one roomOne mate all my internal work is refurb of older properties
I basically stick them on with first coat of skim and give them a little tap as lay on second coatso whats your method statement for a reskim on one room
ok, so similar to havagojo. must have to go carefully around them while trowelling though.I basically stick them on with first coat of skim and give them a little tap as lay on second coat
Just to make sure they are solid and correct, I use my snips to tap as they slightly heavier than trowelok, so similar to havagojo. must have to go carefully around them while trowelling though.
Is the little tap to line them back up?
Can agree with stop end , care is needed and accidents happen3mm stop beads I've caught at the bottom and popped off a dried coat. Clout nails end up in my or customers car tyres. I don't use because of that. Seems no matter how careful I am with them.
