    It's been a while, Ox speedskim question.

    Ha, I have. Just didn't know if I needed to buy the new plastic clamp with it. You're right though, I hate buying tackle. Funnily enough I didn't pay for the last ones either, I won them playing an online Christmas pool comp on this forum about 8 years ago :bailando::numberone: Half the stuff in...

    It's been a while, Ox speedskim question.

    Ages since I've been on here so hello again. Had a plastic bladed speedskim for probably 8 years and the blade is battered now. Ox have now taken them over, I'm wanting to know if the new model speedskims fit into the old plastic holders for doing ceilings? TIA Also where can I buy the plastic...

    Skimming knauf aquapanel help please.

    Not posted on here for a while. I've been asked to finish a job that someone else has started in a swimming pool area. It's on aquapanel which has been left rough face showing on the ceilings but smooth on the walls. None of it had been primed and seems very high suction. The last spread...

    new mixer

    The motors on the new refinas/eibenstock don't seem to have nearly the same power as the older ones. Have they cheapened them?

    I ask the client if they want me to price for a skip or whether they want to take the waste to the tip themselves.

    Can you PVA and Skim over a Painted Wall ?

    Distemper needs either scraping off or stabilizing solution.

    Has anyone skimmed GTEC Aqua Boards? ( the yellow/orange coloured ones)

    It's for a soffit exterior, a continuation of an interior skimmed ceiling. Mf boards were used before but failed in an area underneath a drainage gulley. The gulley was poorly sealed. Money no object, I needed to be sure that if anymore moisture came from above the boards wouldn't fail.

    These ones http://www.siniat.co.uk/products/gtec-board/gtec-aqua-board/?overview=1 Did it stay on and did the boards need pva or a bonding agent? Thanks Dan.

    Studwalls - plywood and plasterboard

    Only where it was needed structurally for supporting trusses or perhaps where kitchen cupboards were to hang as a pattress. It's not a bad idea but ply isnt cheap and can add quite a bit to the build. I'd still mark where the studs are under the ply and screw into them.
