Nigh on 30 years been doing this and in all that time I've never worked with such greasy, unworkable shite. Looks AWFUL. Multi finish. :mad:

Boarded 3 weeks ago, ready for skimming!

I need to put a coat of this stuff over a previous coat that some renderers have done. I'm presuming I need to prime it... Do I?

Just been told I can get a grant for a measly £1000 towards a new truck to comply with ULEZ...waste of time. It's going to cost over £200 a month in charges if I keep my current truck so need to upgrade. I don't do many domestics now, mainly newbuilds and extensions where builders supply all...

So Im meeting with a neurosurgeon on Thursday and I know he's gonna tell me I have to quit plastering. Got spinal/back surgery coming again. Easier said than done, so what's a man to do now? I did my teaching quals and even went for an interview but in all honesty I don't think I can do it...

Does anywhere still do the pre-mixed big bathfuls of s/c render delivered onsite?

I'm halfway through the level 3 AET and Level 3 NVQ plastering in preparation for changing from plasterer to teacher. Does anyone know where I could apply for a job without using an agency? Seems their cut is massive

Hi. Can anyone give me a hand next week? Just skimming a student digs for day rates. Not sure if I should put rates up so PM please! Cheers

A mate just called me to say his son just fell on to his trowel. He's severed the artery in his arm and gone through to the bone... Luckily someone was with him to apply a tourniquet and they made it to hospital before he bled out. He's currently in surgery. Be careful. We're all basically...

So...went to do a job today, a favour for a joiner whos been working for a bloke who sacked his plasterers. Basically we were there to finish off what they left when they got booted off. Here is what we found of their work....and this wasn't even being reskimmed...

Well got to give a big shout out to @Vincey who came over with his ritmo to save my bacon. Picture this... Driving up to the job I see in the darkness a huge grin...who is this? At this time? Early? Yep...Vince...ready for his day's (sorry half day's :LOL:) graft. He sets up his machine with...

I've got some parinter and some monogris e thats been on a week and been scratched and keyed. Should I give it a coat of microgobetis before topping or not?

...for next week in Sheffield ... just for a day for a 55m gable to help us get it on. As some might know my machine fooked up so I'm now without, and I was already obligated to do this job. Might be rest of extension too if you want it. PM me please

Coz if there is I want to go on there and raise some s**t!

Ok f**k this s**t. I've had enough. 25 years experience. I'll give you two good gauges a day. Clean and tidy. Good with customers. Internal and external. Gimme a steady job someone if you think its so good.

Doing a fair bit of lime work on a property and the customer wants a tadelakt wall or two in the bathroom. Anyone want the job?

I need my NVQ 3 and I've emailed various firms but they never get back to me. Prices range from £1200 to £5400 for the same thing...and some wont accept the advanced learner loan which I'll need. I need onsite visits...can anyone help?

Just finished 120m weber no probs. Came to do a wee 30m parex and crack...whole thing sounds like I'm churning marbles. Took hose off and smoke coming out of r/s. So...cleaned it all out and changed r/s to the spare....crack....whole thing sounds like I'm churning marbles. 16m of hose filled...

Anyone know why it wont work on auto now...only manual? It stopped half way through a spray so I had to switch to manual and therefore couldn't turn the gun off.

What do you do with a non payer? I'm not sure you can give em a hiding anymore...or can you? Pester em? Bombard them with calls/texts? Court action? Revenge on feedback sites? Vandalism? Write it off?

Ok so theres no manual to download for my EZE24 so I just went in blind and changed the mixing shaft....but did I do it right? Unbolted the motor to expose the shaft Around the shaft was about a centimetre gap that was filled with what I thought was old mono...but I'm pretty sure it was some...

Ok I've seen the EZE one...but I cant find anywhere else that you can buy these bloody types of mixer from. Are they THAT rare?

Ok so I got round to using the Smarter Surfaces stuff. I built my daughter a bunk bed and coated the wall above. I couldn't get on with it I'm afraid...the wall was so uneven to start with that the stuff went on too thick in parts and slumped. Tried to do a second coat really tight but again...

Skim set up arrived from p1ss yesterday and I've got 6 bags of thistle spray finish to play with... I'm back to being enthusiastic about plastering again!!

In the next few months I'm thinking of getting the eze mix to complement my eze24. Got a fair bit of mono coming up and some nice newbuild internals too (gonna try spray finish at last) Anyone know if their up to the job? Anything similar out there in the same price bracket? I'll eventually...

Ok so I'm starting a mono job and I've just been informed the guy is having his upvc windows spray painted first. I'm very concerned about taping them up...I'm certain I'll pull the paint off and even scratch it when scraping the reveals. The window people insist they cant spray them after...

Pricing a job up to mono a hotel and Weber have come out and specified 30mm pral m. This is double the thickness I usually do and in my mind is gonna take twice the effort to apply. 1. Should I be charging double? ( seems stupidly pricey) 2. Would you still go wet on wet (on wet again)?

Never hear of anyone using it. I'd like to start. Has everyone just skipped a step and gone to airless?

No! Cant see or do anything! Dont like it! Whats happened???

I've used my EZE24 when I've had just 10m of mono to do. I HATE handballing. Whats your minimum metreage to justify getting any machine out?

Anyone know the spec for an Eze24 compressor? I've been on the p1ss site and the only ones they've got...looks like they're over a grand. Fook that.

Been asked to mono a gable thats made of stone. First thoughts were to hack off, dub out with OCR before rendaid and mono. Any issues with OCR on soft stone? Should I be using something different? Never gone over something so...rough. Dont know why theyre sideways...

:LOL::LOL: Lowest paid scum us.

Anyone ever gone to these? Been invited to a group. Anyone had any success?

Looking for a good trowel thats not as hard as MT and not as soft as a s*p*r*lex. I'm finding the MT isn't flattening as nice on this new gear, and the SF just leaves it greasy and bumpy until the final flick. Any recommendations?

Did a shower in micro and I gave it a coat of clear matte. Then when the guy has a shower these damp patches appear. I said it would need another coat of clear but I was working for the bathroom fitter so he gave it a coat as I was busy. This is still happening when he showers....why?
