Forge Steel Profile Gauge 5" - Screwfix.com, Where the Trade Buys

 

[Render Systems]

the profile gauges wont do undercuts... easier to make yourself with tin plate and ply

[flynnyman]

tin snips the straight ones and the curved ones also a file to tidy it up.

[merlin]

your only 24 and your a specialist???/ hmmm

you ve been doin scraped and acrylic renders for two years and your a specialist?????? hmmmm

 

[beddy]

why couldnt he be a specialist because hes 24? say he left school at 15 like i did, and all hes every done is lime work. thats 9/10 years doing the same thing day in day out. thats specialist to me.

don't judge people because they are young steve, just like you told me not to think all old 'uns are past it.

 

[henry]

you can buy zinc sheeting from tomps for making the profile. Ive seen youngs lads who are really, really good plasterers in there early twenties.

 

[beddy]

like meeeeeee

 

[RJM lime]

hello all
I wish i was 25 still good age! 33 now and yes been plastering from 15 as you will see with me spelling sooner or later.
learnt the trade the old way no collage just on the job. plasterer through and through

 

[Render Systems]

yeah ok you lot stop going on now... i was machine plastering in germany when i was 22 and i have appologised

 

[henry]

We love you render man. Beddy you got more rattle then a steam train but i like yer .

 

[owls]

tip for when your making zinc profle.once youve cut your profle out with tin snips,and after youve used a file to get it within a couple of mil.

firstly i find the best way to transfer your profile on paper to your zinc is to mix some shellac flakes with meths,set fire to it,once the meths is burned off and whilst sticky just stick your paper on to the zinc it sets like shite to the blanket.
use the side of a nail to wear down the edges this works a treat in getting rid of any tiny defects after youve had the file on it, in the template before you run it on a bench.it gets the edges of the template lovley and smooth,minus any tiny nicks,that would obously show on your mould.

you dont need to buy any profile make them your self, on squared paper and just transfer them onto your zinc profile and tack it to a shoe and a stock then away you go.

 

[beddy]

henry what the **** does that mean lol

 

[henry]

In a nice way beddy you could talk the knickers off a nun.
