    Box screeds

    I think its the same as free ruling. Float out a section of a wall rule off and fill in etc and then use that block of screed as a reference to work off for the next block. Same thing just a different name i think. Thanks, mystery sorted lol

    how to block rule?

    Arr think ive got it. Its what i call free ruling. If im not using screeds on a long wall that just has to be flat then i float out about 2m across and down. Rule up and then across, fill in the slacks , rule off and then use that block of screed as a guide for the next one. Thanks
