Evening lads I had to leave a set tonight having finished flattening in the first coat. What is the best plan of action now, obviously have to throw on 2 coats again. Can I PVA in the morning or should I wait for it to fully dry?
Yes mate so glad I opted for that course I initially went for another one but changed it when I looked into it further.

Loving it mate! Can't wait to get on the job with a spread!! The lad at gold trowel really pushes you which is what I need having never worked in the building trade. This site has been really helpful too! How long you been spreading mate? Do you still enjoy it?

Sorry to hear that mate back pain ain't a nice thing :/ I'll keep that in mind I must say tho I think one of the things that has attracted me to the trade is that I just want an excuse to buy a pair of stilts lol. Just had a thought what do you guys use for plastering stair Wells it's just I'm...

Yeah I hear that the trade can take its toll. I don't know what it is I could have done any of the trades but for some reason I'm fixated on plastering. I am aiming once I have a handle in the trade to go back to gold trowel and add ceramics to my cap as I just want domestic jobs. Loving the...
Happy days I thought they looked the part mate. Fair play for running with it dude. I just want to work on my own after years of taking s**t lol. From what I've been reading on here I'll probably get more s**t tho lol

Who did you go with mate. I'm taking mine with gold trowel. Then I'm going to college for a year just to stay in some form of training. I think gold trowel offer the NVQ but the college one is a diploma so I'm just going to do both. Hopefully work with a mate for a year or 2.
