I'm good at laser beading!

I would'nt be up to date with the modern external finishes but sand and cement or dry/wet dash,no problem.Skimming the whole time can be monotonous.

The modern finishs are easy and s**t lol

I don't think the modern finishes r for this part of the world,any mono type finish I have seen doesn't look to well after a short space of time,hard to beat the dry dash

i agree, all the modern type renders are not up to our climate, yet sold as maintenance free ??????
although i remember when artex looked good

 

[Num1spread]

The prices I hear men r getting for doing it is unreal at the minute,nearly make me think about buying a pump,maintenance free is some selling point for it,no one wants to paint a new house,

They all hold the dirt , by the time the scaffolding is down the render is already filthy.

 

[Num1spread]

Takes some while for dash to look old though,

yeah lots of nursing homes around my way have been rendered with modern stuff- it looks shocking after a few years, tbh its hard to defend it, i am all for evolution and that, but the wheel is already round ??????

 

[Num1spread]

I wonder what the "modern" plasterers think about this?

It looks like something done in Soweto?

... but I guess not as they at least would have an Afro comb to scratch it properly.

 

[theclemo]

German ocr am trying out

 

[Vincey]

Can't beat painted modern finish

 

[Lastlaff]

Can't beat a nice bit of plain S&C - that big area was particularly taxing

 

[CeeVee]

OCR pees all over S/C in my opinion.
I'm never using s/c again.
You can charge same price for half the work!

I was going to use s&c in a few weeks, I may be tempted to give ocr a go

I'm not a proper plasterer, mainly just skim, but I've learnt a lot from you guys. I try hard and my confidence has improved to the point where my next job is a 22m2 lid. Not massive, but a step up for me! I can board, dab, fit coving, skim, float a bit. Not done any rendering yet. Just wanted to say thanks...bit wanky I know...but thanks!!
