Casien filler, not caesim. Earthborn Casein Filler Bit late with this reply but if it helps then great.

I got on fine with it but the stone was local lias which is quite hard. It did bounce about a bit so I can see where you are coming from. Raking out near expensive soft bricks it certainly is not suitable for. I got all I needed to do done in a day and a half so I'm happy. I think a small...

Righty ho. Thanks for the suggestions but I did say I was raking out stonework, not brick so I think a grinder in whatever form will not be accurate enough without damaging the stone. I had a chat with my lime supplier and he recommended this! Arbortech AS170 Allsaw Brick and Mortar Saw 240V...

Hello peeps, I am doing a lime plastering job at the moment but there are damp problems caused by cement pointing on the outside of the stone walls. I was going to remove it by hand but is there an easier and quicker power tool that can be recommended? I haven't used air tools before but would...

Cheers guys. It's obvious that there can be no improvements and I will not make millions out of this. :RpS_crying: The plastic tank I got I'm happy with. It's only going to be used to knock up hardwall or lime plaster. With the lack of people buying baths now I'm surprised they are still made!

Great stuff. Thanks for that useful reply. :RpS_thumbsup:

Hi Guys (and gals) Do you still use a mixing bath? If you do then tell me what you like and don't like about it. I'm toying with the idea of manufacturing something designed for plasterers, by plasterers (you). I need as much detail as possible about what sort of features would be good in a...

Is there any difference between the render ones and the concrete ones that Wickes sell??

Thanks Beddy. It's obviously no problem them being advertised as 'concrete fibres' rather than render ones then? I will try this if I cannot get anything specifically produced for render.

Hi guys. I would like to use some fibres in an external garden wall render. Trouble is it seems I can only find them available online. Does anyone know of any national builders merchants that stock them? Cheers Mark

Definitely asking..........................stopped all that mullarkey when I met the misses. Lol

???? Wouldn't that be a sore arse or something?

Much better today. Should be fine by tomorrow but taking it easy.
