I'd be interested in seeing that if you get a chance, thanks.

It's mainly over painted walls, some flat, some have some god- awful polly ripple type rubbish on them, not artex. We're over boarding existing artex ceilings but not sure if it's any good on new board, will have enough of it and at that price it would be handy if it is?

Sorry, just got back in, it's at Jewsons Abingdon, never seen it in there before and doesn't look like they'll be getting anymore in unless specifically ordered, they can't seem to sell it!

Thanks all. Good shout Vince, will go and borrow a bag tomorrow and see how it goes. ( have never used it before). Having it hang for hours won't be a problem, can always work late, having a pallet of gear that goes off in the bucket however would be a bit of a drag.:(

Gentlemen, have the chance to pick up a pallet of out of date (14/2/16) uni- finish for £4.99 a bag. Will be 4 weeks out of date before we use it. It's been properly stored and is still wrapped in poly. What are your thoughts, take a chance or steer well clear? Thanks in advance, Paul.

Thanks Danny, great site, can't believe I've never stumbled across it before. Having read your review I've bought some speedskim rules and a plaziflex trowel, not for everyone I know but they don't half take some of the hard work out of it for us old'uns. (Still waiting on a start date for the...

Thanks Bobby, I know what your saying but I enjoy what I do , just feel I'm a bit behind the times just using traditional renders. Nothing ventured and all that! First smaller job is on a mates house. He's well aware it will be a practice job and the extension wall faces a neighbours fence so...

Thanks Clivo, will borrow a labourer off a mate, am I reading right that it's a 10 minute mixing time or is that mix, wait, mix again? Jobs are a couple of weeks away but will post some photos if they turn out alright, or maybe not ir they don't. :crying:

Hi Gents, just stumbled across this site and wondered if anyone would be kind enough to give me a few pointers on a couple of rendering jobs I've been asked to do? Briefly, been building, (mainly plastering) for 30 years, done a fair bit of s&c rendering but all domestic, small jobs. Certainly...
