Photo petition! British Gypsum Multi Finish bags not fit for purpose.

[xyzplasterer]

So there have been lots of complaints on the forum about the new multi finish bags not being strong enough.

Hopefully if we can back it up with photo evidence BG will see what we have to deal with on a daily basis.

Please post your photos be good to have some maybe a breakage on a customers carpet...which resulted in insurance claim must be some out there!

I'll start one form yesterday...bag split on me while mixing up.

Why bother with a petition? its not as if they don't know they are **** does it.. British Gypsum are arrogant ***** that have us over a barrel as its the primary gear to use, they will just laugh at it.

[xyzplasterer]

Because the only plaster I ever drop is when the bag spits!!

Board finish bags are stronger ... they actually paper mache the Space shuttle with the green finish bags to stop it burning up re-entering the Earth's atmosphere!

 

[xyzplasterer]

It sure is a sorry sight...took me at least 10 mins to clean up, went all over my trainers to.

No what you need on a Sunday morning.

Don't mind mate won't be able to do it until middle of Jan 2014 though...booked up 7 days a week until then. Sorry!

 

[flynnyman]

Gives him a chance to clear his garden for you to mix in

Just what i was thinking, lift the top and hose it away.

It wasn't a job offer mate . :RpS_confused:

Stage 1 of the dreaded bag split...outer skin tears away.

At this point it's wise it not using straight away to put into rubble sack.

If using make sure you and your lab poor the bag in together...(it now takes 2) this is the only way to prevent a split.

Or bear hugging the bag (but looks stupid)

I wonder which lucky punter gets to pull a cracker with Adcar and feed him a Turkey lunch on the magical 25th? :RpS_biggrin:

 

[Fatarm]

Adcar ,, where the bags ripped when you took them off the pallet? Where did you get them???? B and q?

 

[Danny]

That bag looks like it has seen better days :-(

I think it has to be the glue they are using to hold them on to a pallet...lol

[beddy]
