@PlasterCraftDundee I did a job the other day that sounds the same, Was told it had been shellacked. The decorator said he tried for about 5 days to get it off, it didn't budge. We used finish (pva'd first) and a tiny bit bubbled but went in a treat, bit greasy towards the end of the sets but...
That gear looks nice to use! Is that an old video, the spreads all look like they from the 80's or something? I've seen one video on YouTube of some geezer from the states called kirk giordano he's seems to do all the types? He cracks me up!
Shame the building game over there doesn't push solid...
Does anyone think that possibly in the future they will sack off multi and board finish and just have uni? It does cover most things without much hassle or confusion
Yeah @plasjack I turn up and people always look behind me as if someone else should be there and then after I do the job or after talking they say I didn't think you looked old enough to be the plasterer, thought u was the apprentice [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I'm 30 so take it as a compliment
I got a plazi foam backed, felt nice but soon realised it couldn't do everything so now use it for curves and walls that stay greasy until final trowel. I got s*p*r*lex, I like it flatten in because it's bigger than my mt and sometimes I use it for a final one but really and truly I prefer my mt...
@Plaster-scene you will get stick because of the course but just take it all on the chin, keep keen and plugging away, take all the advice, every spread I work/worked with does it slightly different so just be a sponge (no pun intended sponge lovers) and soak it all up. It takes along time and...
I had a stomach bug on a job, 3rd floor new build no toilet or stairs just a treble ladder, had to lay down Inbetween troweling up and shitting in empty plaster bags and chucking up in my mixing bucket, went to drive away after crawling out and van got stuck in some sand, had to dig it out...
Only because some people like to give it a pop at home themselves rather than pay for proper job and most people would go wickes or b and q looking for it mate
If your gonna do it in two, do it same day, even though 1st set will be hard, with a bit of elbow grease you can work it in and it will allow it but personally, hit in 1 and hit it hard
Used uni most of last week, over silky paint, old plaster bits of board and it was spot on. If anything is turns quick on board. Me and my old tutor tried a little muck around and topped it with multi on another bit of board and old plaster and it held back? And is all still up so no complaints...
