Hello all. Has anyone used a strong tie quikdrive autofeed screwdriver before.I bought one for over boarding a ceiling and the b*****d packed in after only 5 screws.I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.cheers.

I use a multi purpose ladder,they aren't cheap but once youv'e got em they come in handy.

My phone int one of those new fangled smart phones it's a sony ericsson w995.Is this why i can't see owt.

Can't read posts on my phone for some reason.I bring up the post i want to read but it's empty apart from the person who sent it and the title.

Im not doing anything with it cos ive been back to look at it and theres f..ck all wrong with it.He probably had muck on his glasses the to..er.

As far as im aware they are painting it.Ive told em not to ring me again.

It's being painted on monday and I used a rubber trowel ha ha.

Just been round to look at the offending ceiling and i'm a bit p..sed off. There is f..ck all wrong with it.It's as smooth as my head and i'm bald. I honestly don't know what they want from me.

Never used it mate.How Do you apply that is it same as skim, pva and 2 coats.

Thanks for the advise.Looks like i'm doing it again. Will I get away with 1 coat or do I have to do 2.

I wba the ceiling then went back the next day to skim

Some advise please gents.I plastered an artex ceiling in one hit with 2 coats last week.The customer has just rung me saying that three quarters are fine but one quarter is rippled. She said another plasterer did the same up stairs.why is this and how can I quick fix it.

It's all been knocked back to the brick work.It's the wall itself that's on the p+ss.

Thanks for the advise lads.I've never done a wall as bad.I told em they should have it looked at to make sure it's structurarly sound.

Evening all.Im about to dot dab a wall that is severely bowed in the middle.Ive been advised to pack out with plasterboard first and then dab onto that.Could anyone tell me whats the limit a dab will take to avoid packing out,thanks.

Yeah me too.I just painted over it and it didn't show through.

I was wondering if there was anyone from the south/west yorkshire area who need an extra pair of hands at weekends. I've just done my nvq and am in need of some experience,although i'm not a complete novice. I'm willing to work for free in exchange for getting the experience.

I must apologise for not saying hello earlier and also for rubbing anyone up the wrong way by typing in capital letters, i'm computer illiterate.I can skim a typical room in a terrace house in a day but I don't know if that's fast enough your views would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Thanks lewisricekrispy.If it were your job how would you do it ? I've rendered my mates garage so the bonding isn't a problem.

ID CALL YOU A KNOB BUT THEY WILL PROBABLY BLANK IT OUT.IM ASKING FOR ADVICE NOT GRIEF.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,I THOUGHT THIS WAS A PLASTERING FORUM NOT AN ENGLISH LESSON.

NO PICS AS YET BUT SHE SAYS IT BOWS OUT AT THE TOP.SHE HUNG A PICTURE UP AND IT WASNT TOUCHING THE WALL AT THE BOTTOM IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

YEAH USED EM MATE,THEYRE VERY GOOD.THEY MIX A FULL BAG IN NO TIME.

ALRIGHT GENTS. IVE GOT AN UNEVEN WALL THAT NEEDS SORTING. I THOUGHT I COULD DOT DAB IT OR PVA AND BOND.WHICH IS THE PREFERED METHOD,CHEERS.

Alright gents. I'm thinking of going down to flitwick to learn how to use the weber gear. Has anyone been on the course and is it any good ?

Yeah i'm using wba the last job paid for it. So 2 coats is enough thanks for the advise.

Alright gents. Which is the best way to cover artex. Bonding then 2 coat skim or 3 coat skim cheers.

My quote was within budget I was the middle price from all the quotes they got

You have to be vat registered if you earn over 60 grand

I don't think it's being tiled and they don't have much money so I think aqua panels may be too expensive

IVE JUST BEEN TO PRICE A BATHROOM THAT NEEDS PLASTERING AFTER TILES HAVE BEEN REMOVED.THREE OF THE WALLS ARE STUD WALLS COVERED IN REALLY POOR CHIP BOARD.THE OWNER DOESNT WANT THESE BOARDS REMOVED COS OF THE MESS.I SAID I WOULD OVER BOARD WITH 9.5MM BOARDS AS THE WALLS ARE FAIRLY LEVEL,AM I...

I'd say about a level table spoon per bag

Yeah i've used it and it does work.put too much in though and you could be waiting for it to go off for quite a while.

Your sons wall looks spot on mate is there anywhere up north where you can buy the gear

So 960 quid for a 2 week course is a bit steep then ?

I'm thinking of doing a marble plastering course this year. Is there much call for this type of work. I don't want to shell out all that money and not get any work afterwards. Cheers.

Has anyone got an auto feed screwdriver they want to sell. I can't afford a new one and the cheap ones are s**t

Cheers bruce can't remember who told me you can't they must be a t**t

Am I right in saying you can't dot dab straight onto a painted wall and if so would I be able to if I used bonding agent first

Cheers for that mate all I need now is for it to stop raining.

Do you bed stop beads into the scratch coat or scratch after beads are on plus does the bell cast go on at the end or with the rest of the beads.
