ah right ive always laid down (2 coated) I tried one coat once but it went awful, probably coz i didnt use a sponge lol I put on and lay down with the same gear though so gaige takes as long as one coat. always worked pretty well for me. Not many sites in manchester would let you one coat they...

Weird that... why dont you just trowel it??? is it to wet your gaige up abit?

Free rider and spunky, where are you from if you dont mind me asking.... only ive never heard a mix called a set before, in manchester we refer to mixes as gaiges. also would love to see a gaige rubbed up with a sponge just to see it done as ive been in the game for ten years and have never seen...

Yea quick smear and a nice tight dab, wouldnt have thought it would need thistle bonding, am i thinking of right lintel, a steel one? if so they are a nightmareand ive had loadsa call backs normally after a bouple of months saying that theyve popped, idiotic way of putting a lintel in, but hey...

Who are you the forum police lol pretty G** rule that, but i didnt know to be fair and its up now lol

I loved my 16x4 but wouldnt wanna put on with it i always find if you mix gear even slightly wetter than normal it comes over back of trowel and hits you in face lol but reallly good for flattening

No i do my whole gaige with it, put on, lay down, flatten, wet trowel, cross. i used to wet trowel with a little 16 x 4 that i had, it was best trowel ive ever used but van got robbed with that inside it, was gutted!! that got walls beautiful. ive got a mate that uses a 20incher which i think is...

Even with gypson plaster??? what does this mean? do i use my 18 on board finish and multi?? yea course i do... dont be a doubter go buy one and within a month youll be throwing well more gear on per gaige, i throw 3 bags a gaige on mostly on wet angles and dont even break a sweat anymore, mix...

Yea ive got a spare one its only a 14incher tho so feel like im goin backwards when skimmin my 18 gets me over a ceiling in no time, really easy to maintain, get an old towel douse it in wd40 and get your trowels their own tool box so everynight spray it with a little coat and wrap it in old...

Yea but pre worn would still leave a s**t finish as its well blunt, and bod i used to swear by spring steel trowel but some f**k*r nicked my van and when i went to shop they only had stainless looking forward to gettin em broken in

Can you believe this. Fell off my hop up the other day doing 3m high ceiling (had my tools box on my hop up, IDIOT!!!) an absolutely shattered my trowel to peices a big 18"x 4 an half inch that ive had for nearly ten years. Was soooo close to crying!!!! anyway ordered two more off ebay they...

Cheers buddy so is there much work to be gained from this site or is it just a bit of a chat thing.

Hi, I have been a plasterer for the last ten years, also do my own propertys up. Looking for bits of work to tide me over between my projects, I am very fast spread ( 3 bags a gaige) very neat border, and i am a good dabber, not quickest dabber though. I am willing to travel. I am reliable and...
