Blimey all the decorators I've met cry if they have to fill anything so hopefully will leave the plastering to us!

f**k

Haha just seen already been put up. Bit late there

Is that the line of extra sticky and another ultra fine and a mould resistant one?

Same as said earlier by others wait until it's dried out and painted. That will tell u if it's actually bad?

Yeah 2mm on the bag but still 3mm beads?

That looks like it's been tapped with a stiff brush? The external chaps will have the real answer

I love that bloke, he has me in stitches. Can't we get him out here, quality videos

@PlasterCraftDundee I did a job the other day that sounds the same, Was told it had been shellacked. The decorator said he tried for about 5 days to get it off, it didn't budge. We used finish (pva'd first) and a tiny bit bubbled but went in a treat, bit greasy towards the end of the sets but...

Quality, i would like to look into this, sorry for all the questions but where do u start with working over there?

Oh sweet, I've only used that once afew years ago but quite liked it! Have u worked out their @Nicm?

That gear looks nice to use! Is that an old video, the spreads all look like they from the 80's or something? I've seen one video on YouTube of some geezer from the states called kirk giordano he's seems to do all the types? He cracks me up! Shame the building game over there doesn't push solid...

Is traditional solid plastering dying out over there or people not wanna pay? I would love to give it ago abroad

I had a look at the link u put up @Loren. Nice to read up on some different products from over the pond. What's the plastering scene like in USA?

I know it sounds far fetched but worth a thought?

Does anyone think that possibly in the future they will sack off multi and board finish and just have uni? It does cover most things without much hassle or confusion

Yeah @plasjack I turn up and people always look behind me as if someone else should be there and then after I do the job or after talking they say I didn't think you looked old enough to be the plasterer, thought u was the apprentice [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I'm 30 so take it as a compliment

Do Nela do a carbon trowel @Danny

I got a plazi foam backed, felt nice but soon realised it couldn't do everything so now use it for curves and walls that stay greasy until final trowel. I got s*p*r*lex, I like it flatten in because it's bigger than my mt and sometimes I use it for a final one but really and truly I prefer my mt...

Liberated haha like it! I'm gonna keep an eye now then. I'm not worried 99.9percent of my work is domestic anyway, no probs

That is a quality price, I had a feeling it would come down now people seem to be liking it abit more

Where do I get them crates Danny, I could murder afew

I like the crates too, where did you get hold of them?

That looks nice

It may suck pretty quick on the hardwall and old plaster but soon as you 2nd coat and flatten down it all settles nicely

Has anyone thought unifinish goes off a lot quicker on board, quicker than board finish

Used it again for the prob the tenth time and again I think it's the nuts, works bang on for what it's designed for.

Used it about 6 times now, one fairly large job, no probs at all

I just got back from Spain and some of the newer looking properties external stuff looked spot on. Do they use a lot of the dash reciever mono stuff?

I use it for last wipe sometimes or if a wall is really greasy towards the end and curves

Totally agree

That's a nice looking ceiling! All finished with an eze?

@Plaster-scene you will get stick because of the course but just take it all on the chin, keep keen and plugging away, take all the advice, every spread I work/worked with does it slightly different so just be a sponge (no pun intended sponge lovers) and soak it all up. It takes along time and...

I had a stomach bug on a job, 3rd floor new build no toilet or stairs just a treble ladder, had to lay down Inbetween troweling up and shitting in empty plaster bags and chucking up in my mixing bucket, went to drive away after crawling out and van got stuck in some sand, had to dig it out...

On something's but not on much

I don't many people buying it full stop, pallet looked the same as when I last got some! Did you get any and for a cheaper than it stated in the end?

Only because some people like to give it a pop at home themselves rather than pay for proper job and most people would go wickes or b and q looking for it mate

I got it £10 a bag through trade point, I imagine that's what public pay?

Sorry for late reply, I'm centre of sunny croydon @superspread, you in and around croydon?

If your gonna do it in two, do it same day, even though 1st set will be hard, with a bit of elbow grease you can work it in and it will allow it but personally, hit in 1 and hit it hard

They better! I'd be more than happy to test their stuff @BritishGypsum you secretive lot

Same, and wickes but I have heard they get you on beads because they know you buy them for convenience. Harris and Bailey near me do skim beads 98p

Haha I realised when I put the last thread up someone would pull me up! Busted. What can I say!

Gotta be easier than plastering [emoji23]

Used uni most of last week, over silky paint, old plaster bits of board and it was spot on. If anything is turns quick on board. Me and my old tutor tried a little muck around and topped it with multi on another bit of board and old plaster and it held back? And is all still up so no complaints...

I used that uni fin afew days last week and no tearing, back on multi today and the odd tear hear and there but nothing that I couldn't sort [emoji16]

Got a little makita runs off 10v battery, came with the two drill pack

Bring my lunch with me, eat it when as and when I can. I also have breakfast before I start in the van with a coffee, very posh I know

All I know is I'm going to call it kes from now on, c'mon kes Ya b*****d
