do i need to use heat resistant plaster on a wall behind a log burning fire, it's been boarded with fire board, can i get away with regular gypsum plaster?

cheers pal i'll give em a go

is that the blue ones or what about the new finishing blades

sorry i'm a bit behind the times, but what are the new speedskim blades like i've got the old ones but never really rated them for anything other than flattening in the first coat

thanks for your help lads

is polyfilla an option

my lifes over, what have i done

one last idea, could i use eml?

thanks for cheering me up lol

no they've had a roof leek and because its caused some flaking paint and salt they're going to cut out the patch, it's not actually been cut out yet, i'm not sure how they're going to manage a ten mill deep uniform cut in a ceiling though, i wanted them to scabble it, but they won't have it.

cheers mate

thanks for your input i'll give it a go, i'm still worried though, do you think it might be an idea to lay it in two coats, throwing the first coat letting it semi set then trowel on the second coat, just an idea.

so you think an sbr cement slurry will hold it?

i've been asked to patch a concrete ceiling, the patch is approx 2 square metres and 10 mill deep, the site manager is insisting on limelite even though i've told him it's a bad idea, i can't get them to budge on this, has anyone any ideas on how i could get it to bond successfully to make...

i've had an enquiry as to wether a sandstone wall can be tanked or not, the wall is sandstone rubble wall and is badly weathered and a small amount of dampness is getting through to the internal wall causing the paint to flake,does anyone know if something like ka tanking slurry would ok.
