If The Was One Thing???

[Danny]

If there was one tip you would give anybody starting out in plastering what would it be?

Dont say don't do it

Mine would be look after your back and save for when the work is short

 

[owls]

Don't concentrate on the speed, concentrate on the quality, speed will come in time.

 

[raggles]

Use Sun Screen




That is all

 

[CTPlastering]

Call it a handboard

 

[GiantsJam]

[Ashley milson]

[scottie5]

If you can't lift it don't marry it.

 

[Tommy5]

Never do anything your not prepared to explain to a paramedic

 

[kgreigh]

Put yourself out there and take time to meet new people,when you go in the builders yard or when another tradesman turns up on site or here on the plasterers forum,get involved and socialise,exchange contact details etc.ive found once I've been given a chance by a builder or some sort of contractor(providing you leave a tidy job and turn up when agreed) they will always be happy to have you back.

 

[Olican]

Lubricate

 

[Nicm]

Never think you know it all,and treat the younger lads hard but fair.

[Plastererjonesy84]

Like how to dodge flying objects [emoji28]

Listen, watch and take in, ask as many questions as possible there's no such thing as a stupid question, mistakes happen make sure you learn by them, that moaning grumpy c**t who you hate at times is doing it for your benefit..

Use your initiative! Be proactive! Don't wait to be asked!

Ok maybe I missed the concept lol

 

[bubbles65]

Learn to mix to the right consistency and why.

 

[Marshy]

Learn to drink 10 pints and still get up fresh as a daisy for work and not spew up in the plaster your mixing

 

[thebearbeef]

Don't panic, you can always mix up another gauge and go over it!!!!

If its before 1pm, if not you can scrape it back in the morning

 

[jamesthefirst]

Dont try on the customers underwear on the first day!

 

[superspread]

Find out what time is tea break and what time do you go home and just as important how Much am I being paid
