    Even if the artex ceiling has got asbestos (Chrysotile White) in it's only a low amount like 3 to 5% as long as you sheet up properly keep spraying a mist of water, wear a suit and proper mask you can remove it safely.

    Scrim tape (I just want a good roll)

    Silver scrim was great when I first started using it, but it's not as sticky as it used to be and you get blobs of glue on the rolls sometimes - it's decent though and I still use it. I prefer the white scrim now though called 444 I recommend trying it out if you haven't, I find it sticks well.

    Paddle mixers drills

    If you're going to spend atleast £100 on a mixer i'd just save abit more and get a REFINA MM19/1 Mega Mixer, which is what i did after that piece of crap mixer in the link above died on me. Buy cheap buy twice with mixers they just burn out when used every day. I've mixed everything with the...

    how bigs yours?

    I've got a 14" and a 20" The bigger ones are great because they're obviously quicker if you do alot of bigger areas. I was doing alot of curved ceilings not long ago and found the bigger ones ideal for the curves because they're more flexible with the foam on, so it just glides around the...

    spots showing through artex

    Grease/nicotine spots coming through, definitely stain block it. Watched a subby trying to skim a greasy/nicotine kitchen ceiling once it was sliding all over the place, he was fuming saying I'm going to tell that fat bitch to lay off the chips, was funny.

    skimming onto dry PVA - will the plaster blow ?

    I assume when you say you don't use unibond anymore, you use bond it on every job then.... why? More cost and time whats the point when it's not needed all the time.
