    Forcing patina

    Hopefully can get it replaced. That one can do as a spare or sand cement trowel instead

    Forcing patina

    Forcing patina

    It was in two days, half vinegar half cola and it etched the Trowell somehow. F-ing things f**k*d don't know how it done that

    Forcing patina

    Know this has been covered before but searched couple threads earlier. Have had it soaking for over a day in the coke/vinegar mix. Took it out earlier dried it off, took most the patina off. What's the process when take it out. Do I let it dry itself so the patina stays on it, or dab it and risk...

    Self employment, is it really worth it?

    What I'd do if I could be bothered the hassle of getting a squad together. Sub work long as the firm isn't taking the piss with their rates. Turn up, do the work get paid. No fanning about sheeting up etc

    Help - is my rendering that bad - (Johnstone's Silicone)?

    Do you think it's a bad job? Who's told you it's not good. Have you looked at it and realised its not great or are you happy enough but someone's pointed it out. For the record. It's not a good job at all. 2 thin scraped back to the first coat by looks it.
