    Eze spat arrived

    Mine came supplied with the flexi and I got the plazzy extra but found that the flexi was just as good for flattening render and base coats as a hard blade, just gotta hold it different. Works for me bud :)

    Eze spat arrived

    I been using the eze with a plazzy blde for some time now and there is no easier way to get a perfect shiny finish. Straight out of the packet it pulls and fluffs up the finish but after a rub down on dry fresh plaster to smooth the edge it glides over wet multi without leaving any stripes and...

    Cream of Tartar in your mix to slow down the setting process. Does it work ?

    A wee baby. Pva it and get everything ready to go before you mix. Dont overmix and maybe mix in 2 halves, smaller buckets of fresh gear go off one after another which will save you chasing one mix going off all at once. The ceiling me and a mate done ate 6.5 bags of multi.

    Cream of Tartar in your mix to slow down the setting process. Does it work ?

    How big os this ceiling? Me and a mate covered a 50m2 ceiling this week, first coat flat, second coat flatter then went over it with a spat twice. Shiny and flat with plenty of fag breaks in between. If its on board then you can always pva first to help you out a bit. College wont teach you how...

    How many layers on a ceiling?

    He he :RpS_lol: another chancer surfaces. First coat skim with broken up doritos to give a good key for the second coat which I like to add some pot noodle, any flavor is good but I prefer the chinese one. Save the sauce sachet though and add it to the splash water for trowelling up, gives a...

    will my trowel be ok??

    Just use it im sure it will be fine. take an oilstone or diamond file to it to remove any machine marks though. once done learn to look after your trowel properly, it is afterall your money maker

    Few questions

    2 coats of sbr, ladder against stair head wall with plank across to the stairs and get stuck in. If it goes too far before you finished then you got no hope as the sbr will hold it off for ages. I done one yesterday with a couple of small walls to make up the set.

    Tapatalk?

    A couple of the other forums I use dropped tapatalk, something about the money involved I think. They did however release an app instead which could be a viable option Danny.

    Bits in your multi-finish

    I've had a couple of bags with small bits of grit in it, looks like tiny bits of limestone. The gear aint setting any quicker which is a good job as im spending most of my time picking fkin stones outta my sets. Mine were from bristol

    Some sound advice needed

    The clump appears to be old fibre boards rather than anything else, if asbestos is present on your ceiling in clumps like that then you have major issues lol. The asbestos in artex is minimal so no worth worrying about. A. Just let the plasterer get on and do the job and not fuss over nothing...

    What to do with a conduit that was chased in too shallow?

    Just skim it bollox to bonding it, the round conduit has no flex so it shouldn't crack. Feather it out a foot or so either side with skim. Job done

    Lady plasterer... Soon to be :-)

    Good choice, better to be safe than sorry. Asbestosis is not a nice way to go. Back to the trowel, stick with a stainless marshalltown 14" permashape, its the bit that earns the money so requires the best. Other bits would be a nice lightweight hawk like the marshalltown one, mixing buckets...
  47. G

    Lady plasterer... Soon to be :-)

    They are a bit backward up there and cant understand the word hawk. Don't forget asbestos awareness, you would be surprised where that **** is. Old artex has some although not as potent as the spray on fire retardant. Good luck :)

    Mixing Drills?

    The bosch also has 2 speed but the difference is it hits full speed straight away but has a servo to slow things down if needed. The ones with the silly speed wheel that take a while to spin up to full speed are irritating for me.
