Hey lee welcome =) 10 days to become a plasterer? Not gonna happen mate in sorry to say.. they aint worth a toss in my opinion, you wont be able to make a career off of one of those courses... i took a kid on about 18 months ago that did one in 2 weeks and his quick course was longer than his...

Is it k11 that you used there gooner?.... awsome idea!! Hats off sir

Thoses are the jobs us qualified fellas have to follow around alllllll dayyyyy long

I wouldnt personally... although sometime you can get away with it if you use secondary fixings but thats not advised.. id still play it safe and rough and skim... if your wanting to board it id advise only boarding to the brick/breeze
