    refina mm30

    howdy! Long time Ok, so I have a little basket going on the Refina website, you know bits and bobs. I get to thinking about a new mixer, look at the reviews etc. I settle on a mm30, decide to have a look at price and realise I can grab one for less including the dreaded elsewhere, what gives ...

    Should I also use SBR bounding as well as PVA the walls

    I have to agree, dri-line the walls. Not sure of your experience but even using guides on the wall to keep the float nice and flat will take an inexperienced person an age; then you will have to skim it. Plus dri-lining will enable you to run cables to outlets etc with ease. Rock on !

    Is this acceptable, or poor work?

    That is truly appalling, an amateur could have done better, maybe he was ? I have, and I'am sure lots of us on here have had to put peoples crap like this right. I come across this quite often, thing is lots of clients don't know a good job from a bad job. I wouldn't even bother asking him to do...

    scrim.

    I have to say I used to despise hessian scrim, mainly as you had to mix up batch to apply it and the cotton scrim. Also if you caught it with your trowel on a gauge then it would peel away in a lovely wet streamer; it didnt happen often thank God. Mind you the cotton was good for turning...

    Lime render hairline cracks and bloen

    Hi Vallo, I use this stuff all the time now (well a lot ). When you say apex do you mean as in a dormer window type apex? i.e. timber clad (wbp ply) and then expanded metal or Hi-rib, then the S+L applied? or is it brick/block? If it was brick/block was the EM applied due to poor brickwork...

    Hello :-)

    Nothings up guys, I just say it like it is, no need to f**k about spouting random quotes without explaining them; that is if you can ?:RpS_biggrin: I figure better to get it off your chest rather than keep it bottled up. As for the sensitive s**t, well why not? I am sure your all hard b*****ds...

    good plasterer

    well to be controversial, not that I consider myself to be, I will work all the edges left to right then fill the center, always have always will. If its a massive ceiling then the same but will gauge everything to a rolling set of 2 or 3. If your talking ripples/ lighting to hide stuff then...

    Hello :-)

    Is that just some random quote you've picked up off the net? or is it an educated dig? If so I would love you to explain it? I do so like a good laugh at the illiterate T***s on here who think that a plasterer with an education deserves to be ridiculed. Rock the f**k on!
