Where do you get them from?I get them for £30 a box of 50 plus vat and delivered free. In my opinion they are great for speed on board work and I even use them on over skims. I nail the bottom of the bead on door ways just for added strength, apart from that I don't bother. I do tend to use the rubber end of my estwing hammer to bash them on they get a better grip that way and you don't put a shed load of multi finish that is not nesersey around them
Where do you get them from?
the odd time, of course, we will have a nail or screw, the very odd time or a preference like chrisjack around doors. but its akin to using plaster to bed fibatape for the main usage
Then you are the same as all of us Marshall.I have only occasionally used nails with hook on beads in the same scenario as chris mentioned.
I don't use plaster to bed fiber tape either.
Waste is waste they say.I use plaster to bed finer tape... When the glues died off occasionly on old rolls.. But I'm a tight wad!!
Then you are the same as all of us Marshall.
Oh we all get abuse , don't ever take anything here personally, some like the wind up..Sounds like I'm perfect for slagging off then.

No it's not just that, and it's not just here either. I have noticed it on site, on private jobs, even when talking to another plasterer in the pub.
everyone thinks they know better than everyone else, everyone thinks they can do better than everyone else. it seems to be only plasterers that act this way too. before I qualified as a plasterer, I worked as a joiner with a friend of mine. after fitting doors, skirting board, architrave, building stud walls etc, I never had another joiner look at my work and tell me they could have done it better or quicker, or they would have done it a different way. my first job as a plasterer, I had three other spreads taking the piss out of me, even though there was nothing wrong with my work or how I had done it.
says all you need to know really doesn't it.
Thanks mate, already get stuff from them. Their waterproof dustsheets are amazing, last for years.Matt at r and j fixings. You would need to buy 2 boxes to get the free delivery. They also do decent PVA, scrim tape, single edge, screws, dust sheets etc etc etc. Matt always has looked after me so can give you his number if needed. Christ I think I need extra discount from them after this lol

I think you may just of worked with some very well mannered joiners or other trades for that matter cos believe me i have heard all trades go on like this not just plasterers. Mind you some are snidey fookers and do it behind peep's backs but you will get that in any line of work not just construction.
Its banter toughen up, people see weakness and take that as an opportunity to rib ya.
You would last long with us lol
I wasn't complaining about a bit of banter, I was simply trying to make a point.
