how much you want for it?

Looks like he hasn’t dampened down the substrate before applying the hard wall Also when putting hardwall on its better to apply in two or three layers as it kills the suction and stops it drying out to fast The skim looks like he has left the hardwall to long and the suction has got him...

Could this be it?

I use a trolly from machine mart £30 can hold a few trowels and 100 kg in weight you can also screw stuff on it if need be

Thanks zolco for the informative reply Them rates look shocking to me I know a local firm that done airless on a job I tendered for . The top floor was airless and the other 2 floors was skimmed due to the poor quality of application and finish but it was end of winter so inexperience...

Ok thanks Zolco So more time on preparation and flattening walls Most reskims we do the walls are really bad so not sure how much quicker airless would be Do you think it’s a better system or only on certain jobs?

Was looking into airless for a couple of full reskims Would you advise against it ? Is it something I could just rent the tools and have a go at without going on a course befog

I keep looking for used ones but either looking in the wrong place or they are very rare

What you talking about He is not asking what is a screed

I only way 11 stone so a extra two I wouldn’t be able to move lol

Yeah I think family life makes a big difference as you get no rest time

In the same boat I’m 42 been doing since 17 Speed is slowly going and it’s getting harder mentally and physically I got a few people that work for me so not to bad That’s why so intrested in airless plaster as it looks less demanding on the body

Yeah is a big outlay must be looking at near on 6 k for all the stuff Looking for easier ways to work now as getting older

Off topic but skimming related Just out of intrest all the guys that went to the airless plaster day how many have used it since?

Could you not smell it as you was putting it on? Cat sh-it stinks , had it before but builder would not get new sand
