Wouldn’t bother trying to strip paper from plaster board as will take chunks out of it. Might be bonded well now, how a survey can say how well bonded is silly especially over paper which diceintergrates with time and also when gets wet. next layer of skim at least another 25kg of weight! I...

Just the daz in the red packet. One I’m using at the moment is whites and colours. Don’t think it makes a difference.

Daz washing powder!!! Honestly works amazingly!!! Trowels are brand new afterwards even removes dab to a mush. Soak over night in warm water with daz next day the skim on the trowel is like a mush which wipes off or with a light scrap comes off.

Sika render grip?? With normal sand and cement with eml if needed?

Piss weak pva to start with to absorb into wall. Then second stronger coat once piss weak has gone tacky and been absorbed by wall! Then skim away. If still goes too fast keep a sponge handy just in case.

Done one recently was an absolute pig! Chippies asked me what’s best under the stairs I said ply and then eml on top. Was then bonded out and then skimmed. The curve and angle was sooo tight and in multiple directions was a real pain. Luckily I had my trusty Nela plasiflex! Wouldn’t fancy doing...

Bunnings £4 a roll of the orange stuff. Best stuff in my opinion!

Also works on dot and dab and sand a cement! And no im not a DAZ rep lol.

Leave them to soak in DAZ washing powder over night! Next morning all stuck on plaster and fat becomes soft can can be scraped off easily then washed in warm clean water!!! Works wonders

@Danny Tried the old heavy duty tarp today. Works well, sweep up, roll up, and plaster splats will dry and fall off when you shake it out. Only problem I see with tarps is if they get wet become slippery! I guess keep water to a minimum when troweling up or put a stair runner around the...

Lol yes I see your point.

Hi guys Boring thread I know. Will have some smart arse comments about being a messy spread too! I am feed up with crappy cotton plastic back dust sheet as quality of them are poor. What do you guys use? I'm looking for something that can roll up, is light weight. Corex great for jobs when...
