Thanks.

Thanks for the help

I’ve got a small job to complete in k-rend FT. Are people still doing them overnight or will they complete in a day? Going onto a meshed base of HP12.

Seeing this now

That’s what I’m thinking, phoning Checkatrade tomorrow to see if they can remove it.

Right lads has anyone had experience of asking Checkatrade to remove a review? Being a fairly new business I joined to get some extra work. They’ve sent me an email telling me some f**k*r’s putting a review saying I didn’t answer the phone to them or see their job. No missed calls or nothing off...

This year completed my nvq 2 mate, luckily had lock down to sit and look at the book for a month solid

The lad is probably talking about the question books you have to fill out, fuuck all on plastering it’s more about health and safety and working around others, Shiite like that

Depending what part of the country your in I’d say take up sea angling, takes me to amazing looking places around north wales, almost don’t mind if you don’t catch then.

Feathers are always great off the breakys and a smaller rod down the side with ragworm or strips of squid for pollock, wrasse and other species. Lob half a mackeral out about 10/20ft depending on depth of water, on a 6/0 if your brave enough for a conger or a Huss :bananahappy:

Strip of mackeral belly so it’s shiny under a float when they’re like that

:sick:

“ so what do you catch here then”

They’re like small ripples but I can’t see them after my flatten, only my first wet

When I finish the wall they’re always trowelled down enough not to be felt and never show through when decorated, when I give the skim a flatten it looks great but after the first wet small ones some show through but only in some places, could this mean I’m introducing water just a bit too...

I can agree with that

Looking at the pictures the dots don’t hide any of the aggregate or anything behind them so it could just be where water dropped onto it after their final trowel and has dried like that

Bead has no paint on it so I’m guessing you’ve had your walls skimmed with carlite or you’ve stripped back an older wall with carlite or old grey board finish on, them darker spots could just be differentiates in the skim in this case.

Dry and WD at the end of the day should stop it rusting, using it everyday will also stop rust on the face as it’s worn down

Not used a staple in ages, no not a tape either

Very exact

Used one for a fair bit of ocr work and wondered if that could cause it, might have scooped the ocr out with it

What can cause them to bend the wrong way?

The mixer battery’s are flex volt so can be 18 and 54, could work

Cheers mate

Says it fits slide pack so was thinking that might be a slimmer battery or something

Does anyone know if the dewalt 54v mixer batteries will fit in this or do you need smaller ones?

On plaster board you’ll 2 coat the same day definitely, just spray 1-2mm and spat or flexi trowel smooth

Fill joints, screws and beads out with jointing compound or easy fill60 type products if it’s a small job. Bagar g is only the finish and isn’t great for prepping with

If it’s solid as fook sand and cement, if you can crumble with your finger or if it has horse hair/straw in it then it’s lime.

Cheers mate I’ll have a look

G Good point

I Im looking at a bigger trowel for flattening in and just found the permashape carbons, didn’t know they did them

Are these any better than the normal MT carbons

If builders buckets get stuck together drill a hole in the bottoms of them to disrupt the vaccume:coffe:

Flexis will take strain off the wrist but they’re only for the last trowel, they can ride over bumps if used too early

Tape slayer reviews/ Leigh Griffiths, won’t give anything a bad ‘review’ that he’s had for free

If you break some off and it has straw or horse hair in it then it’s lime

No worries pal, I appreciate the help

Cheers (y)

What’s peoples preference, dewalt or hilti are my options

If on brick and block then just use normal bagged ocr like hp12, much nicer to work with than an ewi product.

If it’s a knock off brick would want prepping with a grit product of some kind, then mesh base prime and thin coat

Topped with an ewi render like mapei ar1 or another brands version of that and then yeah silicone top coat, thin coat systems just not general bagged render like hp12

Now he’s got the money and everything he hasn’t got the same hunger, when he was rising up he’d come through the s**t and wanted it

Was planning on betting on poirier but my card wouldn’t let me, shite luck of mine
