    Airless plaster sprayer.

    Thinking about selling my airless plaster set up. Graco GMax 5900HD, 90ltr hopper with bag roller. Brand new 30m spare hose. It’s not getting the use it should, as I’m too busy boarding to take on airless work. Everything is in excellent condition. Lots of spare tips. Looking for £2500 plus...

    New tool Saturday

    One of my most frequently used pieces of kit. My first one has lasted 10 yrs, but a couple of the welds have broken, so thought I’d get a new one. Given my old one to a plasterer mate who puts a lot of work my way.

    FFP3 masks

    The local shipyard have donated a number of these FFP3 masks to the care home that my partner manages. They aren’t suitable for the staff to use as they aren’t surgical. If any of you would like a couple, pm me your details and I’ll post them to you. Ideal when sanding and mixing.

    Credit checks on customers.

    You boys that sub contract. Do you credit check contractors beforehand? Had my doubts about a company that want me to do about £8k a month business with them. Paid £30 to Experian today for a credit report on them. It was f**k**g shocking!

    Most Hated Tool

    Do you have a tool that you use that you really hate? I've had a T-square that I use when boarding. I've had it for years, and it does its job, but it is forever getting in the way, falling over when I rest it against things, and then it gets snagged on my hi vis or tool belt on occasion. Today...

    Siniat/G-Tec/Lafarge Cove Adhesive

    What utter dogshit that stuff is. Goes lumpy after less than half an hour and is coarse as f@ck. I think I'd rather use dogshit to put coving up with than that rubbish. Had five rooms of Sculptured cove to do today, customer supplying the gear. Gave up after 2 rooms. ******* wound me up.

    Savolit Wood Wall Boards.

    Have any of you had any experience with this wall lining system, or had any issues with it? An architect client of mine used this system on a project. The boards were fixed to the internal framework in a timber framed house, 50 mm boards on the inside of the external walls and 15 mm (I think)...
