I know mate,knew of the issue of it being all over the place, but was unaware of the amount I could put on, thought I’d be able to build it up gradually, then asked if there was a lightweight alternative I could put on after a coat of fondisol f… but too deep in with not enough knowledge about...

They are a polystyrene block infilled with concrete that they’ve built the house from & they infill concrete had moved the blocks out of line

There’s resin cladding above which they’ve straightened out with vents underneath so for me not to follow that with the beads to make it symmetrical would have stuck out like a sore tit…. I did ask if there was a lightweight alternative to the fondisol f that I could use,again I’ve been losing...

Seen a couple of lads say it,but don’t see how? Thought I was missing a trick?tried accelerator in the mix but not to that extent!! Unless standards start slipping!!

can anyone tell me how someone can finish a gauge in 1 hour??? I’ve been plastering for 14 years,I’ll bang a 3 to 4 bag gauge on to a top standard,but it’s taking me 2 hours!! Most of our work is high end work but would be handy to know how to knock it out in a third of the time & keep the...

I best put my prices up.....lend us a few quid Danny!!!!

:LOL:

Eyup lads,I asked all the same questions a few weeks ago,stuck at it & now I use the speedskim all the way through. Lay on 1st coat & straighten with 1200,top it off & drop down to 600 to the end.only thing I find is round the beads needs tweaking with plastic refina trowel.fit it on pole for...

I’ll Just keep rippin’ em off then!!just thought with some of your Jedi minds there’d be a way round it
