I've started back on site this morning for a few week, frist time in a while lol.........Been doing my own stuff, but the site is right behind my house and skimming flats so couldn't refuse really....Only oing to see it out for few months..

But apparentley they are going round with big infa red lasers and big torches on everyones flats afetr to check for inprefections, is this the norm?....One of the spreads who i know is a tidy spread and he evan got snagged to bit's, and you can't evan see them by the eye...

Also notice some of the lads are geting a lot of tiger stripes to...Iv'e had it a few times, but know how to get round it.....What causes this?...To wet?...To thick?...The plasterboard?...Different retarder on the board?....I've always wondered what causes it....Never seen it on float and set...Just board...
 
problem with tiger stripe it shows when the paint is done. What the F--- is the laser for the light Ive seen on drylinhg jobs but come on its a decent finish or its not theres no middle ground,

You will get tiger stripes if you one coat, if you trowel up too early, or if you use too much water when trowelling up. Applying too much pressure when flattening can also cause this.
 
knock up new gear to lay in with or knock up the same gear with a bit water in to lay in with
