Know this is probably a stupid question but where do get them from. Did the online search thing and didn't show, not sure if your allowed to put up link or pm if possible. Any help thanks in advance. Before anyone says they are waste of. Or don't bother, I have a fussy builder who will do his...

Hi rob.. Well after the help from you, we are on bathroom number two. So hopefully we doing something right. Think it's like all plastering the best way to learn is just to do it..(and ask for advice,when needed) Thanks for your help once again. Will post some pics when fully dried and waxing...

Thanks very much rob. Your help and advice has really helped. Top man. Thanks for posting . Cliff

Hi rob. Thank you for your post back. Haven't been on here for a while.. Did course at Golden trowel. Sorry about last question. I was trying to say if you had to do a whole room can you do it in one go working round the four walls. Or do you need to do a wall at a time.. If that makes more...

good evening some advice if possible. i've done a course on polish plastering and yet whilst it was useful, it is never as good as being taught by a time served professional,. so any answers or advice woud be grateful to a few questions. (apologies if ths has been discussed before) thank you...

morning all, can you use it for internal and external rendering/floating s+c? or is it just for re-skims internal like bond-it? thanks claw75.

evening all, not sure but i'm fairly sure you can't/shouldn't use rendaid on painted areas, webber don't guarantee product on that type of backing. unless this has changed since i last used it? never used highbond!

never heard of them........... dura stilts for me!

refina do them but not cheap (green one)

cheers for post. they obviously like you more than me....:) i know they can be funny with their prices. i thought i got it cheap! i'm going back to haggle some more.:)

think the stuff you want is called antinox 2.4m x 1.2m x 2mm travis do it but not cheap i managed to haggle it down to £4 per sheet. ;)

cheers for replies, pollybond? sbr me thinking.am i right nice one :)

evening all. had to look at a job in the week.140m2 previosly rendered and painted all sound render. the house has had some alterations windows/doors blocked up, he has blocked them off with marine ply obviously to paper and wire to render. he's not a builder diy- er.. now he's thinking of...

evening all... just wondered what everyone wears to work or to work in. I've tried bib and brace and can't work in jeans so i wear cheap track bottoms. just seen a new brand of workwear in a free builders mag didn't know if it was worth giving them a try..( t-class) any recommendations welcome...

this is what happens in this climate people think they can save money..t.i.t.

can you get another trowel in to do it with you.. if not 3mm stop beads butted up together form a bay(s). then mastic and paint. not as neat as one complete wall. or i have dotted a strip of plasterboard 200/300mm to create a false column. but might look ugly and have a problem with it being a...

you won't have worry about the weather though... workin holiday

been mentioned before in previous posts 5 degrees and rising for outside work.. thats the rule of thumb i use ;)

they any good nick0412..

it wouldn't be anything to do with the weight of plaster/ hardwall/ toughcoat. there not being any suction now due to bond it....

i'm pretty sure we'll all agree that as long the wall are upright and level. doesn't matter how it goes on. but i'm with andy on this. that's the way i was shown and how i teach/show anyone.. ;)

deal or no deal. i say deal. he'd be a stupid to pass this up. let us know the out come. hope it works out. if he don't take it i'm sure one of us lot will... ;)

tuff one. always think that he's got justify the pay rise can you he spread put beads up etc. me i'd tell him to sit tight and you'll review it in a couple of months. (lucky to have work as mentioned previous posts) as we all know its still tough out there. the good lads are worth keeping as we...

any reason he asked for this. had problems in the past. if so i always think that the closures haven't been fitted properly. not fixed then there could be movement and then prone to cracking.. just a thought..i've not had any come backs whether its been s+c floated or hardwalled.. seems a bit...

I'm glad you posted that. i thought i was cheating doing this way. hell of alot easier..

i always plastering sand. add lime top coat and one sharp to a gauge and waterproofer. standard mix. it's the colour that i'm intrigued about. thought it was building sand but i was told not to use too many impurities in it for render. white cement sounds worth a try. thanks for posts.

evening all.. just wanted to know how you do your pebble dashing. when i've dashed previously the render looks too dark ,grey in colour. i've noticed that on some jobs when fully dried looks a gold colour. i know you can get gold spar(stones) and the render matches this. do you put a colour dye...

i bought a couple of rhino (ceramic) heaters. £75 each i think. good buy in my opinion but like most things depends on how how much you want to spend. might be worth a look though. ;)

sorry. essex /herts area. anywhere that pays really...:)

morning all. far too cold to work.. spot board frozen and so was the tap. and to top it off the windows aren't in on the job i'm suppose to be on. just polythene ??? just wanted to see if any of you use subbies and if so what a going day rate would be. thanks for any replies. claw75 :)

cheers for replies. one thing i will always follow as church top tipped don't put anymore on after 10.30.. golden rule for this time of year.. ;) thanks fellow spreads.

that might be the way i'm going it was easy to rub up and finish. thanks

you love that product. you should get commission.. just a shame you can't use it on painted surfaces..

evening all. had to finish a s+c render job this morning. last chance before the big freeze sets in. my questions is can you put too much lime in your top coat. usually put one good shovel to a gauage (mini belle mixer load). but didn't want it to hang around all day for it so upped it to two...

do you use the sbr as a waterproofer or mix it with another waterproofer. does that make sense?

try taking a grinder to the edges of a new corner trowel and round them off a bit. towel wears in a bit quicker.(don't go crazy with grinder couple of passes shold do it.) then a little rub with sand paper. hope it helps.
