hello and question

[paul the brush]

hi all
i've been in the painting trade for over 25 years, but as everybodys works down i have gone the whole hog, and added plastering to my sevices.

always done a bit, when needed, as most painters can if pushed plaster. but what i wanted to ask was 1 coat or 2 coat.

i can get a smooth finish with one coat, but 2 coat work gives a lot better finish, but takes longer, so whats the most popular way for you guys, or is it a case of price/cost.

so how is everybody here doing at the moment? busys or not. or just ticking over, i'm up north and just ticking over. whats it like down south(i know the beer duffs) but are you guys getting plenty of work.

works slow, painters are taking all the work (what is it with this forum attracting painters who want to be plasterers)
:RpS_lol:

 

[paul the brush]

you a nice friendly buch of silly buggers. and i thought i'd be nice and say hello.
guess i'm right about plasters being con men and thick buggers as i've never meet one yet who could leave a newly finish wall/ceiling which did not need a big bag of filler to sort out. be fore painting it.

no wonder we painters have dicide to cut out you bunch of cowboys and do the job right ourselves.

so if u lot dont want to be friendly stuff you.

paul the brush has left the forum,

If you can p!ss, you can paint.

And every painter ive met has been a cocky git as well. Looks like a lot of customers have finally realised how simple painting is and are doing it themselves. GOOD.
