Im sorry to disagree Dannymac but if you try using this on say a wall with half painted half porus surface it does nothing to stop the suction on the porus sections. Ive used about 30 tubs of it in the last few months and ive been in contact with cementone who advised me themselves that you need...

The cementone Plaster prime is a primer used for non suction surfaces i.e painted walls/ceilings. Ive used this alot latley as i get it for a good price and it is the dogs nuts when used right. If you have suction on the original walls/ceiling then good luck as it doesnt kill the suction and it...

Maybe you should keep your boots on when you go in if they are the same socks too!!!!!

I think alot of the problem is there are alot of so called plasterers that dont take pride in their work themselves, so why should other trades show them respect? Unfortunatly this has ment that the respect for all plasterers is slowly being lost. Ive been plastering for nearly 12years with 7...

Ive used this stuff quite alot latley! It doesnt control suction on porus backgrounds just give it a quick pva first. On reskims over painted surface though this stuff is the nuts it needs to be though as i get it for £21 +vat from TP`s which is a bit more expensive than pva

Hi leon, nice to see you on here, looking forward to hopefuly seeing your offers listed on here as i only live about 1/2mile from you so im in refina quite often anyway. Have you any plans of making the counter in shop any bigger so we can see more rather than going through the cataloge, i still...

Im in a partnership and we allways put everything through the books. Everytime anyone asks me for a cash price i tell them that its £5 more per £100 as i have to pay more bank charges to put it in!!!! They soon stop trying to haggle.:rolleyes)

Happy new year all

Im always in the opinion that the bigger the feather edge you can use the better, the straighter the wall the easier to float!

thank **** for that i was trying to get my head around how someone could use a 3ft rule on a big wall

Maybe i read this wrong but does he just use a 3ft rule? How the hell could you get a wall straight/flat using just that!

Mine wasnt old but had alot of use and i discovered that one of the springs had gottn lazy.

What i do on my makita if the screw goes into the metal end is remove the rest of the strip, then switch the gun into reverse push the gun against the wall and it winds the screw out. I found mine used to jam up alot before but i changed the sprung door like gide at the end of the shaft.

It depends what decorators are on site, allways hardwall and most of the time skim but if in a rush to paint the decorators prefer to easyfill so they can paint quicker!

The problem is that you can be the best spread going, but if the painter is s**t then your work looks crap, and my painting is worse than s**t!!! so i stay away from it !!! Like FreeD said a good painter charges about the same as most spreads, i only have one painter who i use/pass number out as...
