Is it so that you can get a draw after doing the easy stuff and then run away never to be seen again?
If so, good plan IMO.

No they weren't. Float the walls, skim the ceilings and skim the walls was the accepted order of works.

 

[beader]

No they weren't. Float the walls, skim the ceilings and skim the walls was the accepted order of works.

Not how we used to do it Andy all boarding was tied into block work with dute scrim .

To be fair i would do it that way now as don't use hessian any more . All internal angles use the 100mm fiber tape.

I've never heard of or seen that before. It was explained to me that you floated the wall before skimming the ceilings so that there wasn't any chance of hitting the finished ceiling with a featheredge or the need to wash the sand and cement off the ceilings.

Not going anywhere today ....bloody snowing

Yeah we use the wide scrim for internals, I don't think many do?

I can see your point and sand and cement would stain if not washed off, but all we did was wipe it off using a flat brush when floated and before rubbing up. Different strokes.....

Yeah it's one of the things I like about this place, hearing how other decent spreads do things. Just takes a while to work out who to listen to. Ok about 5 seconds

 

[djfleming22]

[essexandy]

Oh no here we go

Three seconds and counting.

Don’t you start!

 

[Djr]

Always skim the lids the float out that the easiest way. Why would you want skim dropping on a floated wall ??

 

[lurpak]

 

[Niftyforfifty]

Bead out, float walls, skim ceiling, skim walls, standard practice, the only time I skim ceiling first is if the walls are being finished in s/c like in garages or out houses . That's how my daddy showed me when I was about knee high!

No they weren't. Float the walls, skim the ceilings and skim the walls was the accepted order of works.

Except if the walls are rubbed smooth so as Not to stain them doing ceiling eg garages but bang on otherwise as the floating dirtys ceiling angles

Hmmm lights on to the coving must be some fancy stuff or an led strip going around the walls?
