Went to see another job today but how are you supposed to !!!

[SpankySouthport]

ive used the fat end of a glass milk bottle to run a tight cove spanky worked a treat

Will try that, problem is do milk bottles still exist? I'm sure I heard or seen a cove tool similar looking to a twitcher?

 

[Jace]

refinas rubber cove tools are ment to be quite good but the milk bottle was free:RpS_thumbup:

 

[malc]

id ask for some noggins put in

i do not like that plasterboard cut in strips either. all of the strength has been taken out of the board, a very poor design.
why ever dont the builder use british gyproc gypglas rok f board which is designed for serpentine walls and ceilings?

Just load the angle up with gear that you wanna curve.then run the (curvy) tool as i call it, along the angle to form the curve

These are for coving... the main post was a curved wall lol... going of a bit accidently i think

 

[SpankySouthport]

Did you get the job sub?? Intrigued to see/hear how it went?

 

[sub55]

Not heard anything as yet Spanky, but i'm not too surprised to be honest .
I know i was first through the door to look at it and one would assume that others did follow.
So its possibly still abit quick.
The price i put in , shall we say top end of competitive , although it wasn't taking the pi$$, as i dont need the work anyway. If i was to win the contract ,would have to take on a couple of boys to help service it. So dont really care either way.

Has to be worth your while, needs time taken,

 

[raggles]

If u wanted to get the dome absolutely she-ite hot u could always do it with a mould the same way as you would an insitu niche and if you really wanted to belt and brace it u could use the same method for the staircase inner and outer dia's just get thier joiner to make you some running boards to the correct radius out of some 18mm ply or mdf or am i being a bit too olde schoole here lmao may take a while to set up but the end result will be spot on.
