Hi
I am a newbie to his forum. I would like some advice from any of you guys regarding your experiences with Wallcrete. i have read through the existing posts and have found them quite positive given that most of you are old school hardcore established guys in the trade.
i would be looking at doing the training course which looks good value for the £60. However does a 1 day course cover everything you need or are there additional courses?
Is Pics the only company doing wallcrete ?
I come from a general building background and can do rough plastering/rendering (dot and dab master dare i say it on here)
Does wallcrete application require an indoor smooth finish or is a rough application of render OK
Do you have to buy all the aggregate from the likes of PICs or can you just use a sand and cement render and then adhere their colours and sealers afterwards.
Finally, what kind of set up costs are we looking at. I would like an initial choice of say 3 styles (mats?)and colours.
An idea if there any of you guys in Manchester who have done the course and who are willing to share experience and tools, we could club together giving our customers a wider range of styles and giving new wallcreters or plasterers breaking into the industry more chance to practice the art until they get established.
would welcome any honest, direct or even brutal feedback from you guys
cheers
Andy
