Working all of it as well

Ah I'm a domestic goer not done site work since my apprenticeship days

Crickey I don't do that long hours just the 8 but I have been doing a lot of 7days weeks

Lol know that feeling but I don't do site work so I guess can't do the hours you do

That's dedication tonym

Cheers for heads up how do I get in touch with him as I'm not tech savvy

I think I'm going to get the s*p*r*lex where is the best place to get from eBay £39.99 free postage?

So its worth getting one madmonk

Is that on all backgrounds adamd or just p/bs

Change can be good sometimes, so not to sound like a idiot what is your routine as mine is s/s first coat & flat then 2nd coat then close in then basically trowel up method and end with 2 cross trowels

Yeah i assume you just use s*p*r*lex at the end trowels got some mates trying to get me on the plasiflex

Defo pal but just read so much about them I'm a big believer if not broke don't fix it I was taught by a 63 year old so old skool and I have stuck to the same method since I started

Right guys I have been plastering for 12 years 9 years on my own full quals, I been reading a lot about plastic trowels and spats does anyone still just use a stainless through the whole set? Does the plastic,speedskim,spats etc only appeal to site workers or domestic side as well

Sod it done half day customer gave me a 4 pack as I left happy days

Just me then lol contemplating half day

Doing what sorry

Anyone working if so what?

Hey up guys I have a job to patch up a wall, straight forward I thought but went to look at it and it's concrete wall!!! Now is the best method sand and cement? Reason for asking is it's a days work with other bits to do in the house so I don't really want to go back another day to skim any...

How have i lost it because you say so? you should tell the guys that make the product and what is taught at city and guilds that they got it wrong and should do it your way because your way is the right way not there's!!! I say the way most plasterers do it which on here is majority two coating...

Yea just like most people do after your skills have been worked lol!

What a great reply! very well done because someone has a opinion means he cant do something hahaha also your saying if you cant do something your a idiot which I would assume means quite a lot of things to someone of your mental strength and the blah blah blah bit is like a kid with fingers in...

Haha Spunky re-read the post I not once said it was wrong did I! I was merely stating that the ones that were one coating don't really have a argument when the manufacturers tell you the way it should be done and if you have done a apprenticeship been taught that way! So get your head out your...

Not being funny lads but most of us if not all of us are taught to give it two coats Bg tells us it needs to be done in two coats and everywhere tells you to, How can you have any argument that 1 coat is right when the manufacturers tell you its not and its there product!! Just my opinion but...

Hi Lads, have any of you ever seen cracked tiles straight down the middle while on the wall and does any body know what could cause this? Working in a small bathroom and it is damp where the plaster can easily come off of the brickwork. I can tell that it used to be an outhouse and now it is an...
