Hi guys, Just wondering if any of you have experience of using the above plaster on cob walls ? We have an old cob house which will need to be completely replastered internally and externally. Any advice on suitability/application, including the use of mesh, would be appreciated.

Crikey, I hadn't realised that 25% or more on an external wall would mean insulating. The walls are 18-20" thick and I don't really want to lose the original good lime plaster if I can get away with it. I have a feeling I read an article a while back, that said if you fell below the necessary U...

The cottage is near a Winkleigh. Fireline sounds like good idea and will no doubt meet fire regs.

Hi Guys, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this one. We have recently bought a large derelict cottage in Devon, which needs complete restoration. It dates from the 1700's, but fortunately is NOT listed. The wall construction is a mixture of cob and stone. It has had loads of dodgey...

It seems more suited to older properties than new build. The White finish seems to make it harder to spot minor galls and blemishes and again, if it were so suited to new build, then why aren't most of the big sites using it?. All the merchants I've purchased it from in the past, have said it's...

I've paid just over £ 11 for a single bag, but guess you'd get a better rate for a larger quantity.

A couple of our local merchants in Exmouth stock it - RGB & Bradfords, so I usually go to them.

I'd a feeling that was the case - I leave polishing a bit later & that will hopefully stop any blisters. Thanks for your input.

I rule it off & as you say, sponge it when nearly set, before troweling. I try to keep water to a minimum though when sponging, as it seems to worsen blistering. But you can get rid of them with the trowel or spatula, at the end.

Hi Guys, i've a few bags of this over the years, each time thinking I'll save time not having to do scratch/float coats, but the setting time is painfully slow and the finish however well done, never has the crispness that multi has - probably was never intended to, but some of you may...

Only a few good ones !. Exmouth is still growing & with 4 or 5 builders merchants in the town, there is going to be a lot of work coming for the building trades. Do you do new build mainly or private work too ?

Hi guys, Many thanks for the warm welcome.:RpS_thumbup: I live in Exmouth actually - was born there. Great place to grow up & for building sand castles in the summer months !!.

Hi, I'm Mike from Devon. Have spent nearly forty years in the general building trade (34 self employed). Fairly good plasterer on small areas, but always keen to learn more from you guys who specialise. cheers
