Really curious on your experience with this product, we were considering it for a time would welcome your thoughts?

Any tradesmen on here can help in the area/happy to travel to the area? Accommodation on site is possible. Got a Victorian property in Solva, Pembrokeshire that will need some traditionally appropriate repairs: - areas of external lime render delaminating with ashlar detailing, cornices and...

That’s not what I found on my travels for this job, but I undertake a large part of the prep work. We ended up doing wood wool/lime solo on this job with me doing all dry fix work, @pftmonojetman doing all wet work. Overall cost was ~60% of three coat lime. Bauwer pricing came out to be the same...

So - an update! Sorry for the rather long time it’s taken to reply... I had a second child and renovated another property we picked up locally so this work got parked for bloody ages. Still working on it as you can see but broadly there - original skirting is stripped and refinished ready to...

Not really. That means locating all the fixings through the wood wool board, removing the board and then resin them in. Wait a while. Hammer in, next board. And then you’ve got the issue of the boards lining up accurately if you want to proceed to the next board whilst you wait. You’d be...

I think so thanks - bell me when you have 5 mins.

Just been reflecting on this thread - you’re right, I should wait for pftmonojetman to come back to me. A little bit of context - if I was to pull of work I’d done, I wanted to get it done today so I could get the materials back to my supplier for a refund. No chance in next few weeks...

I think I may have solved this problem - I’ll post up what I did when I’ve confirmed all fine

I do thanks :)

Hi I’m talking with reference to this job I posted. https://www.plasterersforum.com/threads/lancaster-plasterer-with-bauwer-products-experience-or-similar.73453/#post-1187163 I’d decided on bauwer but lead times for work and long drying times made me look for an alternative option. i then...

Yes I have, id written that before I’d looked though. He’s booked in now. Gonna knock out another room in the meantime to keep him busy.

Glad I didn’t mention I drown kittens on the weekend...

Shame you aren't free until mid-jan :( Want this wrapped up before xmas. Anyone else in the area have availability and interested in working with Bauwer stuff?

That is a worrying sight. You can't make out the vehicle registration plate on that - has he even read the highway code? tsk.

Also, did anyone consider that naming it the 'private section' sounds all a bit euphemistic? I'm just glad you specified it as 'the' rather than 'my'. :LOL:

Customer/highly motivated DIYer. Have never attempted plastering as it seems to all so easily go to wrong - particularly as you're time pressured. You can't just start/stop and take your time as readily as any other task when you're learning for the first time. My current room has external...

Really helpful post - thank you. It turns out I came to the right place... In my case, I need a 30mm build so figured a 25mm Bauwer light plus Bauwer finish would be ideal. Why do you recommend another finishing coat or are you separating the membrane coat and final finish coat, both of which...

Thanks for the welcome - Lancaster UK.

Hi. Am considering using the exact same materials as you in a renovation project in Lancaster. Would be really interested to hear your thoughts/experiences of use and comparisons. Specifically, how hard is Bauwer light in terms of taking knocks and bangs over a standard gypsum plaster. What was...

Hi I have a large 1860's end terrace which we will be renovating throughout room by room. Walls are stolid stone with original lime plaster which needs extensively renewing throughout the whole house. Lime plaster is proving prohibitively expensive due to the sheer size of the property so...
