same here sadly,working tomorrow as it seems fair enough and possibly monday , rest of week is a no no, annoying , would love an inside job to fill in the gap...
I know what I think,just dreading the downtime, that is caused by inclement weather, clutching at straws possibly? then when its good to go you are double booked and lose another job....
It is a hard one to know what to do John ,as the bills keep coming in ,but if you do a render job with these temperatures and it does mess up ,you have to put it right ,which will cost you more money .I look at it there are 7 days in the week ,when the sun shines ,make hay :RpS_thumbsup:
None of us wants to do a **** job, we all have pride and sensible understandings of the pros and cons, but its damn annoying to be off, then more annoying to get jobs in when you have to return to finish the render, you want to keep your labourer and plasterer in work too or you may lose one or both, I know its worse to even attempt to work in bad weather, I would not do it...
Sometimes you just have to put your feet up and chill ,when there is f##k all you can do about it ,but knowing you have work to go back to :RpS_thumbup:
Not for me, I work in my own name, hated those s& r companies who went bankrupt and changed to r&s ..I am not stuck for money thankfully at the moment..
I assume you mean that in 20 yrs ,I do not have the knowledge that you cannot render in freezing conditions ,yes? cold is a generic term.. I, was asking if frostproofer was of any use to us when conditions were not immediately adverse to plastering but would soon be adverse due to the inclement weather ie a decrease in the ambient temperature to below freezing within the drying time of the render.. Therefore the question was if the render had set enough during the lower temperature with the aid of accelerator and having frost proofer additive would that be satisfying enough or not ie work of a professional standard. I hope this simplifies it for you...
The frost proofer/accelerator is one product.I s there any benefit to this product? there seems not to be..
Accelerator & Frostproofer is a liquid additive formulated to accelerate setting and hardening times of mortar, concretes, screeds and rendering to provide frost protection during the setting period. Effective even in sub-zero temperatures and can also be used in normal temperatures where a rapid set is required and as a plugging admixture.
Made me smile chunky
I shall studiously study it in the morning, thanks

I ain't trying to teach you how to suck eggs i wanted to do the same but everyone i looked up said no
Imagine what amount we would need to pay to cover the lay off period....scary
Could cost a bit in the Uk Malc ,but i like the idea ,every plasterer would be pricing for outside work in the winter :RpS_thumbup:
It should be reflected in the wage fair enough lads earning 2.50 for skimming its shite but a tenner for monocouche is a joke
