Zinsser 123 in red can, when dry put a coat of plasprime or equivalent on it, have done this several times after it was specified by an architect.

That's what we used but with the kingspan & dpc the local authority insisted on its a bit pointless

If he wants to keep with the dwelling tell him he can't have underfloor heating, only an open fire! We laid a lime screed a couple of years ago on king span to the clients specification it was a nightmare, looked good just never really went hard enough, I'd never attempt one again!

I've got a 64 plate transit custom, have done 5k miles and the gear box has started playing up! Nearly need both hands to change down to second!

Hardwall won't bond to vandex as there's no suction, I'd hack off the hardwall, sbr,then when tacky spatter with s&c. Then render & skim as normal

Hilti have just launched a 12v, might be worth having a look,

Hello @roryston if you fancy a drive to yeovil I've got a 1800, 1200 and a 600 you can have for £50 as @FreeD says there on a shelf in the garage

Direct line are very good, good cover for a reasonable price, mines just over a hundred quid for £2 million cover including my two lads

Sorry I should have written the entire process I went through it was the mark 2 I used! But the walls were very porous, so maybe that was the problem. As for not describing the process I thought this was a plasterers forum, thought it might be insulting to some

No I just thought I'd make up a mindless comment for the sake of it! When you've used it on a reskim & 4 days later scraped it off as half of it has failed, I think I'm entitled to my opinion

It's shite, can't think why they bothered relaunching it, when they got it so badly wrong first time

Could be worse a builder I do loads for has bought 3 boxes of the shite

£75 a day! Do you want a job?

Run away!

Give it six months & you'll see every dab!

Bet they were stuck on with multi, second attempt only replicated the original problem

Could you send me the details please Simon@anna78.orangehome.co.uk Thanks

If you've got any sign of damp, don't use multi for the beads, they'll start to rust within six months, I've done loads of damp jobs where the main problem is beads stuck on with multi

Just been given some catnic Orange tape to try, ******* rubbish not only does it fray, but being a bit thicker the frayey edge sticks down. Had to use three coats to cover the crap

Bought a hilti last week couldn't be more pleased, is a lot of money though but hopefully it's going to last

About ten to five on a Friday!!

Couldn't agree more! The thousands of pounds we spend with them you'd have thought they could make an effort.

That's because most inspectors don't know their ass from their elbow

I've used one coat on lime loads of times, just make sure you don't leave the lime to long before you skim it, slightly dampening the surface will help

Nice job! You can do my rendering for free if you really enjoy it

Isn't that every other weekend!

Simple answer is no! Hack it off and use it as hardcore under your paving

Best buy it quick then!

Cheap **** that won't last a fortnight

Not if your getting on it the following day

Why don't you just leave the waterproofer out of the scratch coat

Sorry to sound like an old fart but are you charging people for this plastering your not quite sure about?

R&j hardware do decent waterproof sheets had mine for ages

Think the futures here mate I've can't find a spread who can float & set, they seem to think they've made it when they can skim board, not to mention they want more a day than I charge!

Polyurethane floats are always hardwork until they wear in, you could try a hardwall float from refina,

Have a look on the air tech website, they sell passive vents which I fitted in my parents bungalow, made a massive difference and there easy to fit

Does your fanny hurt as well?

Thinking of investing in a hilti, is it worth the money?

I do & as tony says wouldn't be without it, but have been on several sites that won't allow them because of the noise, even though the wood butchers are using paslode nail guns

Mole valley farmers do a good brush for about £9, if there's a branch near you

I know it's only my opinion, but you just as well piss in the holes! Injections just a waste of time and money, the damp proofing company will only blame the plasterer if it fails

I'd use multi but don't over trowel it

Your wrong! It has to be Wendy james

I bet the fitters spent the entire time saying how good they were my parents had the same, I can't look at there's it looks like a 5 year old did most of it

No the majority of them are just nobs

Id spend the money on cider!! Much more worth while, you'll just get idiots & time wasters who get 20 quotes for a small patch

Have to agree make a decent job & you don't need all the other bullshit

Sorry that should say nela! Dam those fat fingers!!

After several emails from Danny(and the chance of possible free stuff)thought I'd best say hello,just to add I've been plastering for 20 years, and the Neal s*p*r*lex is the only trowel you can actually use straight from the box. Well worth the money!
