Always spot & stand unless patching, just cant see that its quicker to keep bending down to load my hawk up but thats me. Does it really matter which way as long as the finish meets the standard required.

 

[kirk johnstone]

some times you havent got room for a spot board

 

[kebab king]

When your as fat as Rich Brown theres not enough room for the buckett

[rockhardsolidplastering]

spot for me much easier on the body getting out of a bucket for 20 years or so will do you in big time

Going to try using a spot. What do you use as a 'board'? Material/thickness/size

Ta

 

[beddy]

12.5mm ply. about a metre square

 

[spunky]

if you want to be a bit posh marine ply

 

[richardbrown]

I got some 18mm marine ply I borrowed off site.

12.5 it a bit bendy for my liking

Cheers fellas. Recommend a good stand?
Doesn't need to be too expensive as won't be using it alllll the time.

my dads next door neighbour (macca) is a plasterer (my dad taught him) has a spot and stand that is out of this world, he made the stand himself and its got all little draws and shelf's where he keeps his tools that he is using that day.

its abit of a pain to move around but it is quite good, i would make one myself but there aint much room in my van as it is

if youve got them you can use work horses or a bin ......anything really .......if you get a proper stand try and get the square section not the tubular ones theyll last twice as long

 

[garry2]

all our spotboards are circular as when you load them up the corners stay empty plus easier to roll back to van

[skimmin2day]

I used to use a old dust bin,fill it with the water i needed for the day and slap a piece of plaster board on top and dump at end of job.
ralrely use a spot nowdays to be honest seems to much haslle,unless doing complete houses or large areas etc.
