hi eveyone...

does anyone do marble plasterering on this forum ?thinking of doing a course .is there good money in it?
any info would be great.

I knew a guy who done a course on it, and it does look fantastic.
He must have priced over a hundred jobs and never got a single one.
Its too expensive for most people and is more likely to be companies/reception areas etc.... who will want it done.
I fancied it myself, but if im not going to get any work from it, i wont bother.

Hello Lewis
Have just done Goldtrowels course which was really good, ther is not much call for it but I think this is down to most people being unaware of it. the main reason I did it is that i want to do my bathroom with it and the price of a tiler was about the same as the course. The instructor who taught me charges about £75 square meter and that includes all the materials, companies who do it can charge way more than that. The effects are stunning and I think it could catch on once more people know about it.
