Godspeed algeeman

Doing some subby work for a housing association currently kitchens and bathroom refits. Using a bag of bonding per kitchen roughly and not had one single issue with blistering over the backing coat. Knocking up the bonding with some dirty water and after 1st coat pretty quickly giving it another...

Skim over with bonding and stop being a gimp. Use a speedskim

Should be. YouTube skimmers posting ads on Gumtree and delivering mince meat for a price.

The guy seems honest and upfront. I don't mind what he's doing although he is encouring Joe Bloggs to pick up a trowel and crack on himself in a way. Bet that cow casper giggles at his videos

I have, just intrigued to see what other spreads thought of him.

Tbf to the guy he seems like a decent chap and does add that his way is maybe not the way all spreads follow. He does leave it open to opinion.

He makes a living out of it don't u know

Dono heard a few birds say they like the black but the greys a wrong cut

Had the pink gear for a while but started a 30m2 cieling today and had a few areas to bond out and got hit with the grey s**t. I hate it. Hangs forever and gritty as f**k. Can't even flatten after laying on as it rips like a f**k*r. Is it a regional thing? I'm in the West of Scotland and we...

Nothing wrong here

What do you fellas think of this guy, if that is u have ever watched him? Apparently retired through YT but does the odd job in the benefit of his channel. Seems a nice lad but is his channel fruitful or just DIY stuff?

I'd recommend McPherson's Eclipse. It's high permeability means it's ideal for mistcoating and it doesn't need watered down too much. You can buy it at Crown decorating centres and it's generally well priced. Cheaper than Dulux, Crown, Johnstones Trade etc.

No chance. Scaremongering everywhere.

Thought I'd give this a bump in case anyone's looking. Better than starting a new thread eh.

Long shot, I know but if you don't ask you don't get.(or so they say) Anyway the situation goes, I wanted to get in plastering 3 years ago. I applied for an entry course at the local college but it was full, I was asked if I would like to try a painting and decorating course instead. Was that...

If you're still looking, what kind of experience is required?

Ardrossan mate.

Forgot all about this. Got a job as a painter for a few months but that's finished now.. Still open to anything, trainee, labourer etc. anything at all. Cheers.

That was always on my mind. But that's all right, if i can dream...

Looking for an apprenticeship anywhere in North or East Ayrshire or Glasgow. Already done some basic plastering and fell in love with it. Hard working and determined, also a bit of a perfectionist which I assume is a favourable attribute in the trade haha. Cheers for any help.

Thanks a lot guys. :RpS_thumbup:

Haha ive not covered all the walls. It's only under the window that is a mess.

Right cheers guys. Nah mate its not signed. Room getting done soon so just got a few old tops up covering the depressing walls.

Registered a small while ago but just round to posting. 21 year old from Ayrshire in Scotland. Been looking at getting into the trade and came across this forum. Started a painting and decorating course at college last year but after doing some basic plastering [skimming, taping, roughcasting]...

Alright lads. The guy that was in the house before us was a bit of a cowboy and, among other things, has managed to ruin some wall under the window. I've done some very basic plastering at college in a painting and decorating course and plan on filling it up. What is the best stuff to use...
