i was due to start to start a job for trade force a few weeks back, glad i didn't now.

its not just a rumour,but a fact.if you use any washing up liquids it will kill the cement,and can turn the s/c render to dust,in some cases in about 5 years after application.

see he uses the moniker "traditional plastering" to cover the fact that he's just a useless,lazy,rough c**t!! [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDYeSx-ufDY&feature=[/url]

had a job a few years back where the client wanted quite a big curve to his ceilings,so we bonded them out and formed the shape using cove trowels.used the trowel skimming too,but was finished with skimming trowel.. if you just want a smaller curve,you can use a bit of 4in waste pipe or even a...

just wondering on what time scale you were going to take on this job??

nice looking website you have there,nice layout too.maybe you should think about putting more pictures of your work on the website as people generally like to see some examplesof the work you do.

look along the green menu bar at top of the page,click on profile,then click on modify profile in left side and then click Forum Profile Information. then you can upload a pic from your comp there.....simples. ;D

i've been involed in plastering for over twenty years and am now getting back to it after a 3 year break.. i have no qualifacations concerning plastering at all, and so does that make me more unqualified then someone who has done a plastering course and probably got his cscs card thru the gov...

i think if you start picking him up ,you'll soon get fed up with the extra journey everyday..you got to remember,it was him who fecked up and if he wants the work ,he will have to find transport to yours. a firm i worked for a few years ago,had a spread with no transport and relied on me and...

try acupuncture, really sorted my elbow out a few years back.

never had the opportunity to do any machine plastering even when having worked for the bigger firms in my area. even when doing k-rend/monocoche is was hand applied. do you guys work away alot or just travel everyday when spray plastering.

it makes cringe, when out and about,you tend to notice others ppl's rendering jobs and how many of them still stick there beads up with multi finish. :o

did alot of bond and set ceilings about 1yr back,due mainly to there being alot of old fart architects about,and some of made you use hessian/jute scrim too.

yeah its good stuff,just have to makensure its pushed right in on internal angles.

catchy name for a plastering company, Plaster Blaster. lol. :D

so where do you guys get your plastering tools from? do you buy locally or buy online,and do you prefer to see before you buy? I live about 15 minutes away from Refina,so am lucky to be able check tools over before buying,especially trowels.

oh hello

its been awhile since i had a trainee with me, you know ,teaching them the art of browning in those dark confined cupboards. ;) :P

no, just stick in the van,away from any damp tools or buckets ;)

Re: Plasterers  or not ? i started plastering in the mid 80's with the old man and uncles,did all back then ,tacking,foalt & set,coving,screeding,artex and rendering... what used to p*ss me off tho,was when working for firms,cus i could do float & set i'd get sent on some big sites where it...

use stainless for skimming and have a carbon steel trowel for render,hardwall. i just dry the c/steel trowel off and spray wd40 on it when finished and its never gone rusty. have found troweling up easier with c/steel over the years and have noticed more wrist and elbow fatigue with the s/steel...

why do feel the need to wet or pva the breeze blocks? usually just apply hardwall straight on to the blocks and skim same day.there shouldn't be any problems with the hardwall pulling in to quick,not on breeze blocks anyways. is the block work old,dusty? only time i use pva ,is on Durox block...

i still have the same Estwing my old man brought me when i first started in plastering 24 yrs ago

i can understand how you feel,i actually gave up plastering over 3 years ago,just got so sick and tired of the job. more fool me, but im thinking of starting up again. i see now,that every job offered requires a cscs card ( not sure what one i need ) and soon everyone will need an nvq for site...
