    Im looking at getting a cordless paddle mixer which is best any ideas need it for a firm mix

    Cordless are great ... no leads etc but a few years in you'll be paying £250-300 for a couple of new batteries as they all have a charge cycle and stop holding full power .... so your £500-600 drill after 4-5 years will be costing you near a grand when a megamixer is £270 ish which last ages

    How to use plasiflex?

    Get a refina non foamed plazi pal .... don't bother with the foam ones (foam ones are useful for curves etc though You can trowel up with them after you've flattened off and the gears picked up slightly .... just keep the blade really closed ... better on board work imo ... overskims id only...

    Plaziflex

    Too flexible the Nela imo ... mine developed a crack on the blade in line with the adhesive . The Nela is for final swipe / polish . Non backed Refina you can use a lot more as there isn't a lot of flex ....

    Plaziflex

    The only plazi worth having is a Refina non foamed back blade .... no flex in it .... But only used when your gears picked up a lot and with a really closed blade ... anyone that's ever had bumps in there gear is using it at the wrong time imo

    Plasterers scheme

    Yes they do but I ment the schemes designed for you to use it on your own potential work / enquiries also not just pump leads to you and that's the scheme if that makes sense

    Plasterers scheme

    Its not a lead generation scheme (although you do get some leads) its more aimed at using the literature they provide and explaining the different product s/benefits / guarantee etc to the customer... .... I couldn't comment on the fees and assessments etc as I don't know @CeeVee it...
