    Get an off cut off each and try it. Water will soak in to MR board not through SBR.

    Advice on plastering shower feed pipe.

    A standard board with a coat of SBR is more waterproof. Water resistant is a way to make people pay more. If they get damp they snap over you back when you pick them up same as standard board.

    Rendering. PLEASE HELP

    Don't use mastercrete for external render. A builder I worked for used to get it and had similar problems. It would rub up mint then next day little cracks would appear, drove me nuts. After trying allsorts went to ordinary portland cement and everything went back to normal. Whatever additives...

    Advice Needed Please

    I had the same thing on a couple of extentions I did. After talking to my chippie mate he told me it's down to building regs. The hip bearer has to be the same dimensions as the roof joist so you end up with that low corner. I ended up packing down the joists with strips of plasterboard to get...

    Battery stapler

    I use a vonhaus one, fires crown staples and brads. It's really quick and you get your beads on really tight. On rsj's the joins are seamless. There are loads of makes now really cheap. You won't regret buying one.

    Nela mediflex

    If you can't get one, ox semi flex are similar. Made by the same company I think.

    Electric switch covered in plaster, now light doesn't turn off

    All that plaster needs cleaning off the switch. Turn the power off at the mains first. The wet plaster is keeping the connection on.

    New Plaster board has mould

    It makes my laugh when there are pictures of dabs showing through. There doesn't seem to be anyone working in people's homes that knows how to dab properly and the reasons why it should be done properly.

    Hair line cracks

    Are the cracks on a dabed wall or tacked?

    First attempt... and I wish I hadn't...

    You will never get it straight and plumb,that horse bolted when it was built. All you can do is manage the bump. As mentioned cut out about 2ft above and 2ft below the join and see what's behind. We always put a full board over the joist level to try and stop movement on timber frame.

    .Dream team.

    Crown staples are best on plasterboard. Brad nails on over skim. Cordless brad gun to fire them in straight through the bead.

    Weber pral m

    Just fill it in, then just cut it back to give a nice edge to work to. I pack out 10mm to give a bit of tolerance, I might scrape it back to 5mm if the reveal needs it to get the margin right.

    You take the ply off and work to the reveal when it's hard a day or 2 later. Rendaid on before the ply.

    Weber pral m

    No, piece of ply with a round hole in it fixed to the front.
  45. T

    Weber pral m

    Get a piece of ply and cut a circle out to the required size with a router. Do the reveal first and the front when reveals are hard. I pack the ply 10 to 12mm off the wall.
