    Plastering on m2 price

    I've heard all this I do a million metres a day b*ll***s before. Even doing 80 metres a day tires me out after a few days and I consider myself quite fit. I'm going to try the retarder and post a new thread next week letting you know if I've been sacked off for trying too much and being rough...

    Plastering on m2 price

    I mix a three bag guage three times a day, I wanted to slow it to try for a few more bags in two gauges instead of three and still make my money. I heard about this tip and wondered if it was true or not.

    Plastering on m2 price

    I know this has been discussed before but I'm on price work and am looking to improve the size of my guages. Does cream of Tatar or bicarbonate soda re***d board finish? Or do I just need to man up and get out of my comfort zone haha seriously though any tips would be greatly appreciated

    Getting a smooth texture

    I use a revolving machine float, does a superb uniform finish. I have the same kind of sponge float for the more awkward bits the machine can't get to.

    Spotless trowels best tip ever!.

    thats just a build up of fat. just soak it and wipe clean or do some sand/cement rendering that'll clean your tools
