Hardwall

[rowland gatward]

Just wondered what's best to stop thermalite blocks sucking the moisture out of hardball. Am I right in saying sbr?

 

[Gibbo]

gyprime

 

[bodplasterer]

No

 

[spunky]

Does gyprime stop the skim sucking in too gibbo?

 

[bodplasterer]

I dont bother with it just use toughcoat it seems to hold back better similar to hsb.

 

[Gibbo]

yes it do spunkmeister

 

[spunky]

How far do you water it down mate and vaz does it cost per tub ?

 

[nickelarse]

bout £50. not supposed to water it down much.think its a bit pricy personally

 

[Gibbo]

you can dilute it depending on the blocks

 

[twitcher]

what's wrong with saturating the blocks with water?

 

[Curry]

any similar cheaper products to gyprime?

 

[spunky]

what's wrong with saturating the blocks with water?

The blocks still suck the life out of the skim

 

[twitcher]

really?

when i've watered them down I've used a hose pipe and really saturated them. Seem fine to skim the same day after hardwall

 

[twitcher]

actually there was still a lot of suction.

just get it on

Why does everyone seem to want to kill the suction on the skimming?
Am I the only one that likes a fair bit of suction? Behave Spunky!

 

[spunky]

If it isn't a problem carry on

 

[JamieMac]

why kill the suction nothing wrong with a bit of snac cracle and pop.with a cold wind blowing through.tears the old arms of

Weirdo

 

[JamieMac]

u wud not understand that spunky.as uv only ever done skimming.ask 1 of ur old hands.what that means.iv got a pair of working boots in the cuberd older than u i served my time using high suction browning.when the bags were much bigger.

 

[JamieMac]

with a name like spunky.ffs did u pick that ureself.just winding u up wee man

 

[McPlaster]

Much quicker to skim with a bit of suction, in the van quicker with a days work done instead of looking at it. SBR 2:1 on thermalite.

[twitcher]
