Chris like you I like to chuck on the metres as well, and annoyingly with the builders that I do work for they are now half expecting a certain amount done now. With all these spats speedskims and new trowels I have definitely noticed more time on my hands which is great as I believe in trying...

Forgot to say thanks to P1SS for the offer of holding 1 back(am assuming I am talking to Ryan here) and yes gps you can't say fairer than that.

Thanks P1SS i am in agreement with Finn and will shop with you, im after a 16" s*p*r*lex pls, would appreciate if you could put one buy for us. @scottie i used to use 18" all the time but after a while went back to a 14" to put on and trowel up with and have been like that for years till 3 years...

What do you guys think, i'm after a Nela 16" s*p*r*lex trowel and tried to get one last week from P1SS, they were out of stock and said they were getting more tuesday. I phoned Tuesday and they said that they were still waiting on them that they would phone me when they come in. I'm still...

I used to use a gd brush from tesco only a few quid good stiff bristles great allrounder for cleaning buckets and trowels. Then the gits stop selling them, Halfords do the exact same brush the only thing is £5.50 each and the bristles are slightly softer so dont last as long. on the look out...

yh sry danny, checked at work before sending an email, and a defo no unfortunately. Hope you guys have fun.

I have passed the number to someone that was interested and he cannot get through on that number, I have also tried the number and it comes up unavailable. Please could this be updated as I know someone that is interested.

Yh I would get someone to phone him for a job, then be mob handed when he turns up :)

is it too late to put my name in, I might have another interested, we wouldnt be staying as we both need to work next day. Im not 100% yet but yh I might be up for it.

are these new Speedskim stainless blades pout yet? if so how much and where. Have been trying the refina spat but nd to renew it and am wondering what to get, another refina spat, Eze Spat or speedskim spat.

OK guys so in your opinion a new refina spat or the EZE spat, I'm guessing the EZE. I have a 600 refina spat but the old red handle one, when first bought couldnt really get on with it, brought too much water to surface and didnt like it. But recently I have gone back to it and am loving it for...

Have just changed vans and removed my racking from old hoping to salvage some wood as skint right now. Once I have put it in new van will post a few pics, sounds much like beddys van but am gonna raise the floor this time to slide board and stand underneath floor.

I only use Permashape Steel trowels, in my experience they definitelt get a better finish that the SS, they do get very sharp but I find that the SS make the surface of skimming slightly greasy whereas the Steel seem to make the surface smoother with a harder like finish.

Jeez, wish I saw that vid before ordering wouldve saved me £45. arrived today so will soon see how crap it is. I think it will be ok with small mixes so with the quick change adaptor from refina could switch between paddles fast.

OK so I saw this on Facebook from the TPF link and was curious enough to buy one. Will be delivered in 10 days so will let you guys know, cant say that I will be using it with a cordless though but will see.

also try heat pads, you stick them to your back and they warm you up, they are awesome

CeeVee Im 39 as well, and for a long while I have always mixed up in the room I am working in, this way it saves on soo much lifting. Also half the time I scoop out of the bucket, so generally hardly any lifting. Take it easy mate I always see a physio once a month even when my back is ok, its...

My thoughts entirely, sounds like a joke to me

Just spoke to a friend of mine and we are both definitely gonna book one of these courses soon in newbury.

Looking on someones profile that there is a Gold Card club, for those with a Gold Card in CSCS. I have one and want to know how to get in?

how can you PM someone?

In the Refina Catalogue there are several different ones for mixing up plaster the standard MR3 but there is also the MR1 I think it is and the one that they call The Gate. A friend on site years ago used to use a paddle that he would get someone to weld together and it is a cross of The Gate...

Oh btw its a Hawk and always has been in my experience

NPS Dont know mate and I dont know how I got them

With soo many different paddles out there for your drill, I was wondering what do you guys use. I use a standard paddle that you get with the megamixers but has an 8" radius.

I cant even send a PM to anyone or dont know how if I do have access

what do the stars mean?

dont ask me I dont know

LOL you are funny guys

Your welcome Danny I knew you would appreciate it.

That was extremely painful to watch his apparent second coat so was soooo uneven and loads of trowel lines in it and when he kept going over it he never took out the lines lol

I remember hodding S&C at 17-19, having a Hod on my shoulder and struggling with it always scared going up the ladder with the weight, I was always a skinny runt so the Hod felt like it weighed more than me LOL

I'm 39 and have been in the trade since school, I remember my first day getting a blister in 10 minutes after knocking up plaster with a stick then finishing off with an artex plunger. Back then we used the small stadium buckets(awesome buckets go on forever), after a few years the plasterer I...

dont worry

who are you talking about?

LOL pmsl, was posted before your reply the other day

Heya mate from an Essexboy here.

Belmore Supplies (BelmoreTools.com) Gorilla Stilt Leg Band Upgrade Found a UK site that sells them

Thanks, now I understand. I like the forum and the banter is funny although does seem to drag on a bit and off the garden path.

lol

Yeas mate I do, I had that feeling as well about catching the the inner tubes, but I found that it was ok really, I bought mine for £100 on ebay :). If you have the normal design stilts (Dura Stilt design) then theyre are some replacement leg straps called Gorilla leg straps that look really...

Looks interesting Belmore Supplies (BelmoreTools.com) EMIR Non-Suction Float , I wonder if it works

Gd boy Son

I have to agree with the start of this thread. My very first post on this forum was on a thread about stilts, having used them for 15 years and have used 3 different design of stilt and owned in all 4-5 in my career felt that I could contribute to someone wondering what to buy. Straightaway I...

grump have you tried the surmags, as they are by far better. The only thing that the MT 2 has is the quick release system on adjusting height and strapping.

In my opinion i think they feel like you have more stability

Nearly 2 years ago I was offered a job to teach in one of these prospects colleges, I am glad I turned it down as I am not really a teacher, have always had a hard time getting people to listen to me properly and also if I can ride this recession out I look forward to what warrior says about the...

Im thinking this thread like many others on the forum has gone up a completely different path from what it was intended. Welcome to the Forums Clayplasterman, for me right now I have reached a time in my career where I really wanna try and push these new systems. Like many getting bored of the...
