Can you dot and dab Green Moisture boards like Knauf Moistureshield, Gyproc Moisture Resistant? its on a pissed stone wall so if i can avoid framing i'll be a happy man.
we wet dash all the time on council property, We use bagged 6mm limestone in a 3 stone, 2 sand, 1 cement mix, mix a large batch in two baths, lay on full wall and start harling. its messy work and tidying up takes ages but we get a nice finish,
Not as messy as Sbr and you don't have to hit this when its tacky and I bet it costs about the same for the M2 . Like I say we used it in a gable and it was nectar, using it next week on internal floating.
Used this stuff on a gable end on Tuesday and it's quality gear! It's new version of plasprime that can be used externally as a key! It's £40 + vat but worth it as Eliminates sbr slurry! Put it on day before u hit and away u go!
PLASPRIME X
put a core vent in. core out 4'' hole and shove sleeve in. lovered vent internally and weathered sleeve externally. drill pilot hole from internal wall then core from outside to limit dust. problem solved.
Helpful as usual eh? Don't put it on to thick, about 10-15mm is ample, use a feather edge or darby to straighten up, fill in hollows as u say and when it's pulled in enough rub up with wood or poly float and then sponge to finish if external or use a devil float if internal for key to skim later...
s**t innit? I work for the council for last two years after being self employed for 6 years previously and redundancies are in the pipeline since these tory bastards took over! Building trade is still on it's arse but no help available! i feel for ya mate but your definatly not alone!
Dunno how many of u remember a tv producer posted in the jobs section of the forum for plasterers to appear on a tv show, I had the telephone interview but bottled the next interview because I couldn't leave my job for the six month required. I know a few others like rendersystems went even...
I work for the council so pretty much 80% of them are s**t holes!!!! Even watched a Dog curl one off on my dust sheets once! We use dustsheets to keep us clean and not the houses!!!

The work for the council is plastering, we do full house reskims, dashing, rendering, float and set! It ain't just patching! Got spreads who've been on sites for 20 years working along side me and I'm just as fast and quality of finish as them so I know my standard is good! I appreciate what...
I've always worked away mate before I took this job in sept 09! I was self employed and made atleast 120 a day but the recession hit and work stopped! Problem was I always worked for the same main contractor and never built up any contacts! I'll keep my eye open for work away but I think I've...
I've been plastering Alot longer than a year mate and completed my nvq in 2009 Your right about where I live though but with kids settled in school and Mrs a student nurse at the local hospital moving isn't an option at this time!
Thanks for the replies, I understand I can't do full house reskims in a week but as well as being qualified in plastering i'm also a qualified in roofing and solid fuel installation plus very experienced in general building so plenty of strings to my bow so hopefully there should be plenty of...
I work full time for the council and to be honest I don't earn enough! Since the cutbacks they've stopped all overtime so money's tight! Have any of you ever worked full time and set up a legitimate business working weekends only and can it work? Obviously if things got really busy I'd **** the...

sent to put an airbrick and internal vent into a understairs cupboard today as it was damp. Ko'd the plaster internally and knocked a hole in walls for airbrick. AS usual with these problems the cavity was being bridged by that horrible blown isulation. i put my arm into the cavity and beneath...
