Seeing as he's already got the EML, use both, and maybe break it with an expansion joint too:RpS_thumbup:

Might look daft, dunno.......

 

[Chris W]

dont forget to charge a bit extra for fixing the eml :RpS_wink:

 

[henry]

[S a plastering]

[Chris W]

like bubbles said... the bloke thinks he knows better... if not, stick it up with gripfill or hammerfixings whatever... point is, if you make him look a c'nt your off the radar... just whack it up but splatter it first like you knows gonna help and crack on man.. :RpS_thumbup:

[Chris W]

eml across the joint though... that'll help...

 

[nickelarse]

man up and just tell him hes a cun.t

I'd put some building paper behind the EML which will give you the same lack of suction as the concrete blocks and by bringing the paper and EML well (150mm) over the join between the Celcons and concrete blocks will lessen the likelihood of a crack appearing on the finished face.

Nick if you used microbegetis on this job for mono would you have to do the concrete block aswell as the celcon would it dry different?
