Start Monday

Seems to be a lot of miss information here chaps the course is ran at silver trowel because we haven’t got the facility’s to do it ourselves it’s not silver trowel idea it was mine !!! Because we really struggle to get plasterers to work on these types of work , I’m a bit delusioned from the...

I do indeed could spread it with a small tool be most appropriate

Hmmm interesting what would my role be ?

As soon as I’ve some dates il post them we find it hard to get good plasterers in this sector of plasterwork the money is so much better than typical plasterers rates that some companies pay !!

It will be at silver trowel Just seeing what response I will get did arrange one this year but a few pulled out so had to cancel contact Colin at silver trowel and we will sort some dates for the spring

It will be in Southampton

Just a plastic float , no need to devil it

Good stuff, use the spatterdash coat first, any difference between substrates imbed reinforcement mesh in the scratch coat, then after a couple of days float it out not with a devil float just plain float, then skim the hydraulic lime finish in 2 tight passes rub with float finish with a fine...

Plenty of courses out there , but try and get in with some plasterers there are no substitute for hands on experience

Intresting thread,

Goldband for me achieved the best finish after 17 years in germany

No micro wont do it afraid, you'll have to put on dg27 from baumit its a silicate based permeable consolidation primer thats gives good adhesion properties on the old lime , but its still permeable , so the plaster can still breathe, hope this helps stu

?....?.?

You'll need good plasterers for that mike people who can use a straight edge! As for the material not used it, but the inside work done loads using schell putz beads plumped in and lined up, and walls squared up stuy

Something might be available in the coming months mate, the day courses are not really up to the mark to be honest, Myself and mayti are working on something it may come to fruition hopefully.

thats the problem on all jobs lately is when you discuss price and various methods they will nearly always go for the quick fix rather than the long term solution , it is a bit tricky to get a finish with regency on dg27!! but is possible, and didnt know that you wanted a fine sponge finish...

distemper to emulsion or vis versa? skimming with walls primed with dg27 and skimmed with regency plaster from mike wye common practice ,

hi and welcome!! we are plasterers and we finish by hand, not with a machine , you will never beat the sun i am afraid , dont be to hard on your self mate , the sun can make the finest plasterers look dodgy mate
