    Re-doing Krend.

    Alright lads, Had bit of a nightmare with a krend silicone ft wall. Only a 12m2 wall, all on by 9.30 but was still too soft to scratch at 4.00 so left it overnight and obviously it was rock hard by the morning, managed to get a scratch over it but it looks s**t. It was a freebie for a mate who...

    Work in Colchester/Ipswich area

    Hi all. I've got too much work for myself coming up, was wondering if anyone wants a few days a week to fill up their diary. Currently working for 4/5 builders who are getting really busy doing extensions and re-furbs, mostly skimming on new board, re-skimming existing walls and some sand/cement...

    Agreed, but would rather be home an hour or so earlier!

    Multi

    Seriously though, does anyone need 3.5 hrs+ to do 30 odd meters? Spend as much time waiting around than actually troweling up!

    Multi finish

    Have BG messed about with the multi finish again. Using brand new bags with 11-01-16 date on it on to new plasterboard, as I knocked it up I thought it looked s**t and sure enough it's just sitting there not going off. I've found it to be spot on for the last 6 months, just wondered if anyone...

    Straight forward work.

    Cheers. Refina supaflex. To be honest, prefer the finish I got with my old MT. Just ordered a new MT, only really tried it because everyone was raving about them on here.

    Straight forward work.

    No hero Zombie, just makes a nice change. The sparkie even said he'd cut sockets and down lighters out after I finish.....never happens!

    That's the sort of crap I'm usually doing!!! Looks good though.

    Stacked my back

    Good osteopath is the best way to go if your back is locked up, bit more expensive than a chiropractor but Defo worth it.

    Plastering stories

    Does it take long to get used to using your stilts and........have you fallen off yet?!!!

    Most effective ways to gain work?

    Hi Windy Best way I found was to phone all the local small builders, give them your number and ask them to keep you in mind if they ever need a good, reliable plasterer. Gets your foot in the door. Also, get some flyers printed up and do a leaflet drop in your local area, chances are no one...

    stilts

    Dura-stilts are the best, expensive, but I've had my set 10 years so you get what you pay for.Takes half an hour of staggering about desperately clinging on to the walls for dear life, after that you wonder why you didn't get them years ago. Go for it!!

    top or bottom thats the question

    Right to left, top to bottom, but I'm a left-hooker. Not the only one who goes sideways!

    Do you like plastering?

    Despise it. Too old/lazy to do anything about it. Only another 25 years to go!!!!

    Hi all, has anyone skimmed over these boards. Mate has got a swimming pool room which has been boarded out with h20 powerpanel. I know there is a special plaster that is used, wondered what it is like to use. Cheers.

    Plain float and sponge. Thought it would be ok to sbr and coat as normal, was looking for a bit of reassurance really!

    S/c over pebbledash.

    Hi all. Got a job to do for a mate, so need to keep cost down as much as possible. What's everyone's opinion on sbr slurry or eml screw and plug. The pebbledash is sound so no worries about it pulling off. Cheers for your thoughts.

    Plasterboard ceiling screw holes??

    I had an architect who measured the distance between screws. Me and the tacker came back in the morning to find pen marks on the wall where he been round after we had left. Tacker told him to fuk right off! Then he asked me how I know I'm putting 3mm of skim on the walls!!!

    Plasterboard ceiling screw holes??

    If you want to be ultra safe you can scrim all screw heads as well as the joints, bit over the top though.
