    best way with this artex

    still worth a bit of a scrape.
  28. G

    artex stablex

    scrape, wba, 2 coats
  29. G

    artex stablex

    usually keep a tub on the van. i would say unless the artex is really flaky/chalky and looks like it wants to fall off on it own accord, you should be ok with just WBA. really comes in handy on a nasty bit of distemper tho!

    float and skim

    it is when a plasterer uses a pair of hovver boots to skim a wall, therefore negating the need to use ladders or a platform

    First Trowel
