    Search the 4% rule or the safe withdrawal rate, you’ll find out the total pay you’d need to retire or be “financially independent“ which is better I think. It’s not as much as people believe they need especially with massive rises in assets over the last 2 decades

    The new faster plaster

    Said before In a different post, just get some halftime pouches and experiment with quantity added depending on how much your knocking up. I find they are a really great addition. why carry 2 different bags of multi??

    Thistle pro finish.

    Having halftime bags on the van seems to make more sense, at least you can just store multi and adjust how much additive to put in dependant how quick you need it to go off. I’ve found it a great addition to the tool kit. The bonding speed up sachets are a whole other beast, as Casper says solid...

    What you say makes sense I agree, until you realise that asset inflation suits those with the most (wealthy with MASSIVE connections to government). The biggest mistakes/decisions were made after the financial crash, assets weren’t allowed to drop and keys weren’t handed back to mortgage company...

    SBR/PVA Mix

    Hi, Im sure this has been answered before but the best thing I’ve found for holding back REALLY dry substrate is Thistle GYPRIME, but at over £100 for 10l was wondering if anyone knows If/effectiveness of adding SBR to diluted PVA or Neat Bostik Green grit at holding back porous backgrounds. If...

    Sparky £100 per hour

    Bostik green grit.

    Cheers mate

    Bostik green grit.
