plastering on me own

[phil68]

Hi
i have been plastering for a while and am going to plaster a ceiling 12m x 4m do you recommend it being done in one go, as i am on me own it may be difficult. Or can i do it in 2 or more sections and can it be done in 2 or more section over different days.

best wishes

Now then mate . You have a couple of choices ,,,
One .... You can get it a ll in one if you are as good as me,, LOL
YOU JUST MIX YOUR FIRST GUAGE UP , PUT ON TABLE THEN MIX ANOTHER UP STRAIGHTAWAY BUT A LITTLE WETTER THAN FIRST BUCKET THEN BY THE TIME YOU HAVE USED 2 BUCKETS UP YOU WILL LET THE CEILING TAC UP A BIT THEN YOU WOULD MIX ABOUT A GOOD HALF A BUCKET UP JUST FOR YOUR LAY DOWN COAT

second theory is
IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO IT IN SECTIONS REMEMBER THAT WHEREVER YOU END THE LINE THAT YOU DONT LEAVE IT ALL MESSY COS THAT WILL UPSET THE JOINT YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE INVISABLE
IF YOU ARE JOINING A COUPLE OF SECTIONS REMEMBER TO ALWAYS USE PLENTY OF WATER WEN FEATHERING INTO ONE ANOTHER
IF YOU GET STUCK GIVE ME A LINE AND I WILL GIVE YOU A PRICE ...LOL
GOOD LUCK
