    Quick question...

    As a plasterer it's part of your job to work things like that out...... I guess it will come with experience.

    plastering over combed artex ceiling

    Tight coat of bonding if the pattern is deep.....Then multi on the top. Best job is to overboard and skim but that's not always possible or wanted. If the pattern is shallow and light two coat multi as normal.

    Speed skim

    I bought a small and a large speed skim.....I do use them but not all the time..... They are good on large areas and for the odd bit of bonding/ browning.

    Plaster color consistency.

    It's the plasterer and not the gear.... He will put it on neat and quick then lay it down without the first coat pulling in too much.... Then he will catch it just right trowling it up before its set. Having said this the guy that taught me my trade always left it different colours but always...

    Bosch GRW11E Mixing Stirrer Drill - 240V (Review)

    I have both a 110v and a 240v..... The 110 I have had for about 10 years I'm not sure what make it is possibly refine.... Another plasterer gave it to me as he bought a bigger one and was going to skip it. The 240v is a b&q revolution mixer and does the job on domestic work :$

    New plaster coming away - advice sought

    I do remember the days before blue grit and yes we managed well enough.....we even used to use water to kill suction :-? Like many of you guys we were taught to score the area to be skimmed and either damp down or unibond....by the way I'm not saying the modern blue grit and similar are no good...

    over boarding

Then you can measure that distance to find the next joist and so on.......if you find the joist at each side of the room you can then strike a line across the ceiling so you have...

    how to spead more faster

    Time and motion mate! It's only physically possible to do so much in a 2 hour period...... For me the main thing is quality not quantity..... Quality gets you referrals poor quality gets you a bad name. Quality gives you pride poor quality brings shame ( it is Sunday guys) my pet hate is...

    pricing from drawings

    The thing with extra height isn't just the cost as in price per square meter it's the extra time and effort doing the job.......it's relatively easy to skim walls and ceilings at 2.35 high but a lot harder and more time consuming to work at 2.5 high so in theory if you're ceiling heights get...

    pricing from drawings

    Mate never assume anything especially where main contractors are involved....they want you to drop a clanger and come in cheap..... They also hold back info for that purpose. I simply won't send a quote in if I'm not satisfied I have all the info I need. I'm sorry to sound harsh but I have...

    pricing from drawings

    Hi....one of the first things you look at on a drawing is the floor to ceiling heights because it will make a difference to the price! It often says in a spec to buy the correct length of board. With any new build attached to an existing building there will be patching so it's best to look...
