I’m in touching distance of getting out

It’s now gone

:X3:

Ok chief

I’m beginning to think this thread is wind up

Dabbage lol

I’ve never seen them used either,this guy just wants bib and brace job

:cachetada:

i just pva to seal dust ,otherwise dabs won’t stick ,,I trust that bond over not glueing wall

I’m just tired of the whole game,the airless got me interested again,but here we are

Good point

The cold spots are caused by bridging from masonry through dab to board ,but if your using insulated back boards this should not happen,

If you stud wall with timber /metal track you get it nice and straight/plumb then cut your boards and fix ,no mess . If you dab it you will need to pva walls if it’s old brick otherwise dabs will roll of due to dust ,you grease the back of the board with dab ,dab wall ,then stick board and...

It’s your call,the method is correct dabbing then fixing ,I’m just not sure I would personally do it ,I would be inclined to stud walls,I don’t think a membrane s necessary,you don’t want walls getting condensation behind cos of some sheets of plastic. If the boards aren’t contacting the wall...

It it has its work cut out ,when they see it in action and finished product you can see the eureka moment on there face

I hear you,I left soon as I had grasped it ,into the deep end

I was in a similar position,hickey was the only one who giv is a shot,the rest is history. Just don’t expect rockstar wages,he’ll have you skimming for years and still pay you like a labourer lol But it’s a start

Ring Tyne plastering,used to be Steve hickey plastering,even for a labourers job,the rest will be up to you

Airless defo easier on the body,nicer way to work

My roots ?,I just mean bog standard plastering,domestic,new build private’s. Just handball everything,and no to render ,sold pump while a go . You get sucked in ,only people making money are machine and render suppliers,where at the sharp end

Airless is hands down far superior,I’m just can’t be arsed to push it ,the bricks and mortar attitude is hard to crack

I was once told the 2 easiest jobs to startup regarding cost was plastering and a vet maybe. All you need is a few hand tools,a couple of drums and a mixer and you can make a living. I’m going back to my roots

I hate all plastering

Firstly ,chemical injection for damp is a racquet . Those damp meters are designed for wood and not worth a carrot . I would strap walls with metal stud and board with insulated plaster board ,I wouldn’t dab to external walls ,you can get cold spots .

I did some research before plastering my bedrooms in lime,3 coat work and reskim. To keep walls “breathable “ nothing but water is to be used ,no pva ,and any modern paint will seal wall as well unless it’s specific for lime plaster. The product i used to seal walls and provide a key when...

Hi all,there isn’t an airless section so I stuck it on here,cos the big boys hang out here ,selling my flex giraffe sander and vacuum together,little use ,it’s the one with the flat edge to get into corner. Il throw some yellow pads in too. £500 Newcastle

Seems like a lot of work for the money

Is that 800£ a piece less the tax

Is that price after/before tax,&how many men ?

I get it now It’s a Monday

You

What do mean?

Sold

I use stilts and a spot board ,il be laying in while they set up scaffolding.4 lengths of copper pipe on stand leg tops to raise board means not far to bend

I like this game

Arh ,ok I get it,My bad I’m new in town

Talk to me 15.50£ was baumit,direct as well ,through a merchant it’s more ,but looks like there selling it at merchants prices and making more themselves. Was expecting it a lot less when he said it’s direct. Who is 9£ ?

Alreet I m doing a lot when I can get it,you should be paying 15.50£ + vat ,bypass the arseholes at sig etc and speak to the reps ,there’s a few manufacturers now ,and there as good if not better than Knauf,it seems there the only one pushing it

It’s an m, 240 v ,doesn’t have the vibrator on hopper or extra 5m of mat pipe

Hi rob We have met before Il be Intouch over weekend Mick

Hi all , I’m selling my ritmo m ,as funds are required for new ventures. It’s around 7 year old ,but I can find out exactly if required,it’s used obviously but not extensively as rendering takes only a small portion of my work. It’s in fine working order and just been used to texture my porch...

aye i agree,the vans the last resort,but when your busy are spreading you aint got time to look for facilities

haha,its only when your caught short,dont like pulling up to mrs smiths house first thing on a monday morning and first thing i do is insult her porcelian with last nights king prawn jalfrezi,not good

they dont get cleaned,just filed in a skip,it was only a thought but it seems ideas flawed lol

haha,i think you will be right

sick of shitting in random bags and buckets,thinking of boxing in one of those travel toilets in back of van you can get them for 50 quid from go outdoors ,chemical toilet you can just launch down drain wen emptying,do you think smell might make van stench

its a ritmo with standard r/s,someone commented that when machine is turned off it pops gear out of gun like pellets ,i agree with that ,thats how it is.sorry for late reply but nothing is notifying me il have to check settings

yeah,thanks for that,spoke to les and back pressure should be 15 but it seems to wet and blennds into itself at that setting,the jobs look fine ,just dont want to be constantly wearing things out

is there any benefits to texture next day?,only used weber to texture and did it same day,curious to know what you water is set at for texture ?,it seems to hammer r/s to wet though and finish is wrong
