Im assuming you work opposite?? Or youve never worked with opposites to you?

Hey lee welcome =) 10 days to become a plasterer? Not gonna happen mate in sorry to say.. they aint worth a toss in my opinion, you wont be able to make a career off of one of those courses... i took a kid on about 18 months ago that did one in 2 weeks and his quick course was longer than his...

Is it k11 that you used there gooner?.... awsome idea!! Hats off sir

Thoses are the jobs us qualified fellas have to follow around alllllll dayyyyy long

I wouldnt personally... although sometime you can get away with it if you use secondary fixings but thats not advised.. id still play it safe and rough and skim... if your wanting to board it id advise only boarding to the brick/breeze

@Speedskim How much are the fleece?.... working on a site wondering why the hell i got out of bed this morning haha

Only time ive had them is on reskims when ive gone put it on before the pva as tacked up... second coat usually sorts it though

Just seen online... plastering diploma?! Whats that? A glorified NVQ or what?

Ive seen them boarded before.. usually timber frame to inside of reveals, set back for your plasterboard to come flush with existing wall, dont forget to slip a bit of kingspan down their though if you do ;)

Ill find mine out in the morning and have a look

Should we refer to it as a blanking panel as more is blanked than is glazed haha

The advanced craft will be ACA then?

Thanks guys appretiate it ☺

With the size of the window im not suprised there are cracks appearing at the weakest point... id chop those cracks back to brick to check structure around the window is sound, id fix some EML to the brick rough and skim just to be safe.... as for above the window id scrape the loose plaster off...

Ive taken full bathroom suites out plastered then left them for the plumber to discover

Thanks lazer

I dont like the fact that it seems too good to be true then it usually is

I got that from a guy from texas i met in mexico a few years ago, be asked what i did for a living and he started calling me mud slinger....

Heard it all now haha....

Thanks ✌

So you would recommend it @lee1973? I had a rep come out on a job explaining how it works by creating a dpc but couldnt really imagine it been all that good, used it a few times but not really had the test of time as to wether it will come back

Their aint really any difference it is basically the name of the qualification, they are both assessed and governed by city and guilds and the CITB... NVQ basically means national vocational qualification... just to show its recognised nationally

Thanks Nisus

As anyone done the deyzone injection and had any problems with damp problems not been sorted yet?

I tried the dryzone injection method not too long ago but i really cannot see that working.. i always prefer the SBR,K11 method simply for the guarentee. Never had 1 come back at the old 1000mm so dont know why they upped 50% on to the height, thought it was to lone their own pockets with materials

Just trying to get ised to the layout and how to do things on this forum haha

Thanks =)

Hello guys and girls.. my name is scott, im a plasterer from yorkshire.. just stumbled on this site by chance to be honest and seen that theres so many other mud slingers around and chatting so thought id join in =)

Are the speedskim recommended fellas? i tried a few trowels from rafina recently.. the steelflexi and the plastic flexi. To be honest the plastic flexi was fantastic but going near a bead is a no go.. the steelflexi was too simular to my marshalltown to warrent a trip around the country with me lol
