I regularly mix one big bucket and do 2 coats with it, it cuts the time down a good 25 mins. I don't like hanging round for it to dry

I can't wear them cheap trackys, they shrink after 1 wash and with these long legs it's a problem haha Just bought some Dunlop cordura ones from there for £20 and ther bang on :)

2 tickets please :)

:risas: @smoother09 yes and no :)

@Fatarm close enough haha The closest thing bilston has to an arcade is a fruity in the wethers :risas:

Haha I dont waste a drop me, every grain is precious :risas:

Do you use your Nela s*p*r*lex to put it on with?

Multi finish has gone down hill over the years and I'm sure they've started putting less in the bags, my 70l bucket couldn't quite get 3 bags in a while ago and now 3 bags go in easily!

I used my Nela s*p*r*lex for the first time today and I'm impressed :) The handle feels great and it helped get some really bumpy walls nice and flat. It needs some breaking in before I can finish with it but all trowels do. Had a few comments about how good it looks aswel , I didn't want to get...

Haha I'm yam yam nothing posh about that :)

@jeanclaudevangyproc dudley is the heart of the Black Country, I'm like bloody hell he's common when I hear some of your lot talk :risas2: Love the name by the way, class that is :)

:risas: @Fatarm, it does sound like code sometimes, especially the old boys even I can't understand some of them :)

Om frum wolves mar mert, ow bout yow?

Just callin out to any plasterers in the Black Country, if there's any on here? Be nice to hear from ya and to see what kinda jobs your all doin? I know I can count on the Black Country boys for some good banter! T raa a bit :)

Working on a 200 year old building in Wolverhampton town centre, turning 2 nice size flats into 4 small ones. Not a straight wall in sight, until I work my magic that is :)

Caps are good for when a blob of plaster makes a bee line for your eye :LOL: Isn't a wife beater a white vest?

I always cover scrim first regardless of the board type just to make sure, takes about 30 seconds. Makes me laugh when I see plasterers leaving scrim showing

I hope this guy doesn't call himself a plasterer

Just come home to find my Nela super flex has been delivered :) First impressions are... It looks so nice and feels great in my hand, can't wait to use it :) One thing though I ordered it from gypsum but on the trowel itself it says plasterers 1 stop shop, what's that all about?

A good pva and skim is all that needs mate. No need to take the old plaster off unless it's blown, give the walls a knock in a few places and youl be able to tell if the plasters loose :)

It looks rougher than a badgers arse if I'm being honest but hey everyone's got to start somewhere :)

I always take plaster off back to brick 1m high, drill holes along bottom corse of affected area and inject with a sealer, leave to dry for a few days if possible then Sand and cement it back up

I hate lime lite, takes forever to go off if it's cold

I wish I'd have waited now, I wanted to buy from p1ss but I bought the refina corner trowel at the same time and they didn't have it

Does anyone know if gypsumtools stock the newer Nela s*p*r*lex and will they replace foc if they break?

Haha I noticed that, great film though

I hate holding a trowel with gloves on, I got a yellow card on site before for not wearing them! That's right guys a YELLOW CARD!!!

Thanks @Hoddo That's me sold then food is my favourite :)

Money's not everything @theclemo I think it would be a good experience :)

Crazy stuff! Hopefully I'll get to use it some day

Thanks for the comments guys, loving the banter on this forum :)

Those brushes must have done some tickling in their time :) reminds me of my armor tool corner trowel with the jubilee clip

I had one of them until about 6 months ago, I threw it off the scaffold into the bucket and the handle came flying back out, could have cried :( good shot though

Hahaha it sure is

I would but my Armani suit doesn't look good with my work boots

@Rossi46 thanks those Dunlop trousers look good for the money, are they flexible enough for going up and down hop ups all day?

@adamd i find snickers trousers a bit thick and not very flexible. Do you have any recommendations for a light flexible work trouser?

@zombie I completely agree with you. It's a personal thing really, I enjoy my job and daft as it seems little things like a nice t-shirt, new tool etc keeps me enthusiastic about my work

Id like to do this, does anyone know how to go about it?

@Fatarm i want to look smart not too cool for school haha I don't have my own company, I work direct for a building company

Not "special clothes" but for example a marshal town or Refina t shirt

Haha I can't do that, I'd have a constant trip hazard but seriously I like to look smart at work, sets me apart from the scruffy looking guys that make plastering look like a rough trade

I don't know what you guys call them but it's the brush I use for corners and edges. I've had various brushes over the years but they always drag and leave lines. The other day I bought myself a spekter wood sash paint brush set from tool station and they are amazing, had a right smile on my...

Hi guys, I've been searching the net and can't find any good plasterers clothes, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks :)

Thanks guys :) @scottie5 its gotta be smoky bacon, any other flavour is just for when they havnt got smoky bacon

What's this magnetic plaster all about? I've never seen it before

Yes please @Hoddo Love burgers I do Damn it, I need a burger in my life now

Hello all, I'm new to this forum, discovered it while looking for trowel reviews the other day. I've been plastering about 8 years, based in Wolverhampton. I like what I've seen on here so far so hopefully here to stay :)
