ello then people
Im Chris, sorry about the silly handle just seemed appropriate
Been plastering 10 years or so, worked as a window fitter when i started (we thought we invented 1 coat for the brickout french doors! half browning, half multi), then learnt how to plaster properly working for general builders and some site work, then developed my own technique.
Interesting site you got here, I notice theres a lot of people still trying to throw it on in one by reading the posts...hmmm....dont blame the trowel then :-?
I had 1 little board wall to do last week, bout 4 meters with a door in it so i knocked up half a bucket of board, couldnt be arsed to knock up a quarter to top it, had plenty left so i topped it with the same mix and by god what a pain in the butt! Broke my own rules! never again... well maybe, depending on customer
Never used this wickes bond it stuff but by the sound of it im off down there tommorow to get shares in it! anything that you can roll on in one AND ALLOW TO DRY!! has got to be worth a labourers wage just gettin em to pva up...
Now then DAMP PROOFING!!
dunno whether to start a thread on this???
