Tiger grip gloves on amazon are decent, strong and thin so you can feel when your skimming etc.

Have you got toilet roll as well?

What I do whether its hardwall or sand and cement is do 1 coat and scratch it. Then run screeds across wall, level. Second coat then rule off screeds.

Surely you don't need a bead to get a wall flat and level!

It's a rough job job but who has lights like that! They look absolutely shocking!

They painted a floated wall?

I think you need to get laid mate

I would of priced that around £1500

I use Powered Now

The windows are not vented but I can leave them locked slightly open.

Yes it's my house mate. That's exactly what I was thinking, central heating and double glazed windows there's no point in keeping it.

Do I block it up or leave it? 1930s house, solid walls throughout. I've come across these vents many times but always recommend to leave them. Windows are all double glazed with windows that I can leave open slighlty so why the need to keep it! Thoughts? Cheers

Where do you get handles from?

I wouldn't even get out of bed for that money

Will do mate. Tbh I hate the place but it's just right near my house and convenient.

Just found this in my local B & Q! £10.62 a bag. Looking forward to giving it a go tomorrow

Whether you do it in a day or not, the price for a room like that is 2 days for 1 man regardless

what and this leaves a better finish?

You mean a broom?

Haha no of course not I never went for it. My builder just brings up leads and every now and again I look and I just happened to come across this 1

You won’t f**k**g believe this!! Someone is actually interested and has been shortlisted for that. Absolute joke

I know I feel like I want to send him a message to tell him to f**k off but don’t wanna get shortlisted and charged.

I dont really use it much just went on there back in Jan when I thought things would be a bit quiet but haven’t hardly used it. But sometimes I look at it just for the comedy value.

This is a good 1

It’s still s**t gear though

I’m finding multi so much better than what it used to be. Not saying it’s a great product but I seem to be able to get a much nicer finish and it seems easier to get flat and smooth with less work. I think the less trowels you give it the better it goes (y)(y)

I’ve just got 2 of them. I can’t believe how good these are for the money, the sockets at the back are a great idea. I ain’t even used them yet and I’m thinking of ordering a few more!

If it can carry pretty much carry most of my skimming stuff in 1 trip I’d happily pay £200. The more important important question though is how practical will it actually be? I mean not every house is the same and access is always different.

That joint to the right of the window is really something

Is the the customer going to treat it or leave as is?

Yes if it’s untreated a light sand with a fine paper should remove it. The Multi-Finish burns the wood but a light sand should do the trick

Sanding it down should work

Obv Obviously what when wrong is he laid it on and troweled up with his hands.

I do use the Speedskim SF on big ceilings but still not convinced by it. Once the the second goes on I flatten with the Speeskim ST then give it 10 and go over with the SF but after that I find it not great but maybe my timing need sorting.

I don’t understand how you can be plastering with someone for 3 weeks and not realise that they are no good!

Yeah that’s what happens it just slides off like it’s unclipped. The thing is they ain’t that cheap for a shitty bit of plastic. If they were like a 5er I wouldn’t give a s**t.

Does anyone else’s pole attachment come loose and don’t tighten anymore. It’s the second one I’ve had and the last one done the same thing!

You don't want to leave do you, Lurpak has smoothed you over! On a serious note though you should get a refund, I just don't know how someone can leave a finish like that. Did he have a trowel or did he lay it on with his hands?

What a thread this is! I’m thoroughly enjoying this.

Just thought I’d share a great business tool that I use called Powered Now. It’s basically a quote, invoice and job management/scheduling app that’s really good. It’s abit pricey if you go for the higher option but still it’s really useful. Check it out! Oh and no I don’t work for them before...

Exactly that mate I’ve been trying to change everything I even brought a NelaMax plastic!! I’ll see how that goes.

Nope just short for Hills

That’s true haha! It just bugs me and I like to get everything perfect and when I see a dried wall look like that it gives me nightmares!

How does that work then? I’m assuming it changes the colour of the multi?

Has anyone else got issues with multi when it dries? The issue being is looks like dog s**t! It’s flat, smooth and looks mint painted but when dry it looks like I’ve brushed water everywhere. I only use water on my trowel when trowelling up so I can’t put my finger on it.

I’ve actually just realised that I posted on these forums years ago then stopped! Since then I’ve just been turtle heading!

Hey Guys been a lurker for a good while now, enjoy reading the forums and browsing through and I’ve finally decided to say something! So... Hello

I've been taught using PVA but im on a job with mixed backgrounds ie. Old plaster, shiny paint etc. I always use PVA but just thought about trying Bond-It. Can anyone fill me in on this Bond-It stuff. Cheers Hillsy

It basically looks like a float, does it actually feel like trowelling with a float? Suppose there is only 1 way to find out.....

Whats the new handles gonna be like?
