Thoughts please

[User________removed]

Just been to price a job and whilst there the customer asked me if i could sort a chimney breast out in another room, Its Artexed so thinking i might over-skim it ?
Obviously ill have to scrape the skirts back a bit and clean the socket off, just concerned about losing to much off the width of the room. Cheers all :RpS_thumbsup:

[algeeman]

Pva..
mix finish bonding together quite stiff
Let it set a bit ..flatten.
1 heavy coat of skim.
or strip it all and render.
either way £200 plus mats.

Was going to take it off Arti to clean but FFW will be on my case so it will have to be done in situ

Looks like its been done in thistle, bit heavy for artex.

 

[cassie]

Dot and Dab it.. fuk messing skimming that..

 

[User________removed]

Dot & Dab would cost to much mate, i was thinking more along the lines of knocking up a full bag lay on nice and thick then rule it off with a speedskim.

 

[jesssop]

just steam iron it flat

 

[Skimble]

Looks too thick for skim. Hard to say but I'd bond it out first. Never seen artex on skirting boards!

 

[carlos]

Hack off and hardwall +skim be easier than pissing about.

 

[henry]

That's one of golden comb's job so casper been this far south hmm.

 

[yeoplast]

Bonding coat and skim it, job done.

 

[spunky]

Way too heavy for skim it'd look shoite when it all shrinks back, do what algeeman said but I'd use 2 coats of multi when skimming it

Only a steady days work there.. not your fault its RAF, charge him...

 

[spunky]

Doesn't matter who it is, if you have to do it a certain way they have to pay for it, chances are you can cut corners to be nice and they will still **** you over by having you back if there not happy

 

[KevRM]

Ok skirt off:RpS_thumbsup:, socket off and chase in, glue wall, bonding coat, flatten off, devil it, when set enough skim it with 2 coats of multi, fit socket back on loosely and tell customer to screw it in fully the next day, thats exactly how i would do it, thought anybody whos a good spread would of known that though:RpS_lol:
