    How to finish basecoat

    Not done much thin coat myself , but found using a wet medium Regina sponge and a spray with water stops any tearing then a spat over the fat leaves a nice and flat finish.

    Original cornicing

    Keep the boards as tight to the cornice as you can, any gaps bond and scrim, but there is no 100% guarantee you might get the odd hair line on the join. Take the old ceiling down leaving 4 inch’s around the cornice and butt up against that, but that’can be messy with an old lath plaster ceiling...

    Spats!!!

    I do, but I also like the 600 for running large walls and ceilings, and you can just replace the blades on the spat.

I think some people think the latest gadget out will make them a good plasterer, like some sort of magic wand....a plasterer can plaster with any trowel, looking at some of the work out...

    Spats!!!

    I have the 570....0.4mm blade, they do have a screw attachment in the handle but I have not tried it with a pole. Once layed on I have finished the set with just the spat , they have square ends so you can get in the corners with it as well which I like better than rounded ones...but each to...

    TO SPONGE OR NOT TO SPONGE

    Try it for yourself Lodan before you discard the idea, always handy to have a few strings to your bow.
