Was it one he gave away ?@Vincey
Picked up a brand new Permashape on the way to work this morning.
Open box, mix gear and then use new trowel from start to finish on a ceiling.

What just skimming? Not a chance it'd be worn out.I've only had mine 2 years but my finish is changed and can't work out if it's the trowel or gear. Could it be f**k*d after two years or am I being paranoid

Do you know what I actually said to my son today that I feel like I could just jack it all in because of this shitty plaster as it's breaking me.Your joking mate 2 years from skimming alone is just about broke in normally!
Everyone's finish has changed over the last couple of years bg plaster is getting worse daily.
I've sussed out how to improve finish with it now but f**k me it's hard work at the moment!
I worked with a tip top spread last week who always leaves quality work i walked in his room and f**k me it was like a car crash!
He was broken saying he hadn't got a F*****g clue what to try anymore and he's been at it 35yrs!
I walked back into my room laughing my bollox off it made my day!
It's become a daily chore!
Maybe BG should start giving away rolls of anaglypta with every bagYour joking mate 2 years from skimming alone is just about broke in normally!

I’ve actually been tempted by the sponge after someone else said about it the other dayHow much flack would I take for suggesting sponge and spat?
Get good consistent results, possibly because it is very gentle on the surface so doesn't drag and stripe.

I honestly believe that all the plastering rules have been torn up and thrown out. Anything goes and whatever works for each of us is fine.How much flack would I take for suggesting sponge and spat?

Said the same to my son last thursdayDo you know what I actually said to my son today that I feel like I could just jack it all in because of this shitty plaster as it's breaking me.
Don’t bother mate , No one needs a sponge ffsI’ve actually been tempted by the sponge after someone else said about it the other day
Honestly mate make yourself a carpet float. I dug mine out of the unit yesterday and will take a picture tomorrow.I’ve actually been tempted by the sponge after someone else said about it the other day
...has anyone tried to used Multi mixed with the amount of water BG state on the back of the bags?
Now that would be an arm breaker!
Cheers zombie makes me feel a bit better, hard for me to know at times what's my inexperience and what's out of my control....your right though, this gear in the cold temps is hardYour joking mate 2 years from skimming alone is just about broke in normally!

Sad isn't it. I think a lot of spreads have actually forgotten what decent plaster is like to use.Said the same to my son last thursday
I’ve dabbled with the sponge before, my only gripe was cleaning the sponge out and having to spray everything.Same with board adhesive. They changed the recipe the other year and the mix went haywire. I was mixing up like always and had a big rock on the end of my paddle
Cornelius - Sponging is a bit like using a serrated spat for rendering, looks horrific when you run it across, but then smoothing over with the spat or a Nela (or such) is like the wiper on an etch-a-sketch, it just comes out super smooth and flat. I usually give it another trowel but tbh a lot of the time it's good enough to apply paint straight off.

Get a Nela! I was quite literally in f**k**g tears with my elbow. Takes so much pressure off .Get no flack from me mate!
The only way i can get a acceptable finish by letting it go right until the end of set and then brush surface in front of trowel.
I've no idea how these people who claim to be using no water are finishing there work!
The down side is the pressure now needed to trowel up is killing my elbow at moment!
Maybe go back to basics?![]()
yep tried it like diy sos mixI honestly believe that all the plastering rules have been torn up and thrown out. Anything goes and whatever works for each of us is fine.
Out of interest;
has anyone tried to used Multi mixed with the amount of water BG state on the back of the bags?
Now that would be an arm breaker!
