Haha good effort!

I always use normal building sand, and I mix the top coat 5-1 with a touch of lime , My main line of work is people dash and never had any problems with that ratio. Hope that helps :RpS_thumbup:

Rentech as in render tech:RpS_thumbup:

Welcome along dave!

Ye the Scratches down the middle are on them doesn't affect it in any way. I've always used marshal town permashape can't go wrong. Can't comment on the nela trowels as I've never used one but the lads seem to like them! Good luck buddy!

Hey Ryan! As Scottie said work is busy so good time to come back into it. Hope it works out for you mate!

Not going to kick up an arguement here but you can't tar every plasterer with the same brush! I travel all over wales to do my work, yes don't get me wrong local jobs are great but I'm working 1hr 20 mins away from house and I know many boys who are willing to travel. There's no real shortage of...

Nothing wrong with the welsh!!!! We shag them you eat them! Simples haha

In wales prices have been going down, many plasterers around me willing to skim 2 coat for £2.50 pm!! Shocking! Ewi prices gone down too from £17 pm2 down to £12pm2 (including boarding) most company's got Latvians and Polish working for them really hard to compete!

I feel your pain buddy I had my mt permashape stolen. I had it for about 6 years and it was moulded to me then had to buy a new one :RpS_crying: the new one is almost there but still miss it!

Cheers for tips on the angles chaps! All done now! nice one!

Cheers guys I have done them a few times but tried to avoid them. I'll do it today save myself time !

Hey guys got a small room to skim today realistically it could be done in 2 sets ceiling then all four walls as it's only small. Always been against wet angles but would like to hear other views. Cheers lads:RpS_thumbsup:

Haha thanks everyone for the warm welcome look forward to joining in on the banter!!

Haha I know it's heavy work isn't it! As you say it's less strain so got to be easier! :RpS_thumbup:

At the moment hand applying is working great. I was taught by an old school plasterer so kept things traditional. Still banging out the meters and earning a decent wage. But would be nice to get with the new way of plastering. Bet it's not cheap for the machines!?!:RpS_confused:

Hi Keith thanks for the welcome I hand apply. Just a small fish in a big pond and the moment haha hopefully joing the big boys with the machines soon :RpS_thumbup:

alright lads! im after some advise. ive got a job coming up where there is an arch on the front door and they want band work going around the arch. how can i get a perfect semi circle around the arch? i can do bands around windows ect but never come across an arch. cheers:RpS_thumbup:

i was tought once the floor has dried out get a hose pipe out and sprinkle water over the set floor. apparantly it dries harder. i always mix up cement and water like a slurry mix and spread over the floor using a brush before laying the screed too.
