i went to gold trowel. Its pretty good actually. Been wanting to go on the venetian course for a while now. I must say though id be suprised if many of the people there on my course would have continued on in this trade..

so can you advise of the best place to get it from fcoff? Also would that mean his lime is also not good for external rendering with lime too?

ok thanks

Can somone recomend a cheap place to buy this gear from? I have looked at goldtrowel but the prices seem expensive. Also I have looked at stucco italiano but they dont show prices, and they havnt emailed me back yet with prices...

um just had a quick look and it appears you can use marmorino. i dont know if this is acrylic stuff though, pretty suree its the real (german word). update: Yes it is real venetian plaster, not acrylic. But i think you can use a resin over the top to help protect it. I would be interested to...

thanks for giving me confidence back lol.

If your wallpaper has a shiny/gloss surface use a cleaner with hot water as mentioned above, but the cleaner needs citrus/lemon in it. Or u cud squeeze a lemon in warm water. It really helps. If there are large lumps, carefully pick them off with some kind of blade, but only attack the plaster...

just wondering how you guys dont manage to spill any? I always get it everywhere... any tips? I do work by myself though so i hav to mix and clean as well as plaster. appreciate any advice.

sorry people. my grandad has had other things come up so he is delaying this atm.

From what I gather you use a certain type of venetian plaster and also apply protective coatings.

yeah thats a good idea. I will get some pictures up tomorow hopefully.

The surface is very rough and he just wants it doing. I know what your thinking, why touch it if it doesnt need doing, but hes going to get it done either way.

Hi my grandad has a large house in Pulloxhill, bedfordshire. He is looking for a someone to come and give a quote to render the front and two sides of the house. Its too big a job for me to do so that is why I want to give it out here. He wants to know whether you will remove the old render or...

I wondered how a marble floor is done if you cannot walk over the area but need to burnish it etc..? I have looked around the forum for this but couldnt find anything, appologies if I didnt search well enough..

thats looks amazing.

iv always wondered this myself, and want to learn it. But theres not much point if there isnt a demand for it. Its a shame really. I wud guess most the work is in big citys?
