Dunno how big is that ceiling of yours, but it's slow enough in this weather at the minute

 

[JessThePlasterer]

Agree with Cornelius, if you cant find extratime cream of tartar works too.

If you find it's going off just do it in two, better to look after what's already on, just make sure your featherings spot on

 

[taylorhendersonplastering]

Jess has the right idea just split it into two with a nice neat blend!
Great to see a professional female Plasterer who knows her stuff!
Big respect for all the females in this trade

 

[Cornelius]

Get a speedskim or spat on a pole to flatten it all in, that saves time.

 

[smoother09]

Get another plasterer to stick it all on while you sit in the van then come back in for the last trowel and steal all the glory

 

[scottie5]

Artex it

 

[smoother09]

Tyrolean it.

How big is it?

Bit personal, maybe he's not comfortable answering questions like that

 

[Pagey]

They always seem a lot bigger when you panic over it

Yeah these threads remind me of when you're chatting to someone and they leave the room and your still chatting away before you realise they're not there and then feel foolish
















Maybe I should learn to shut the f**k up

 

[Pagey]

They never come back after a post most of the time

Once did a 300 m2 ceiling nice 30 bagger, had to split it in 2. Good afternoons work that ceiling. Thank God it was only 5 mtrs up.

Sounds like my everyday scenario

 

[taylorhendersonplastering]

Lol seriously..can I ask did you do it on your own??
So you broke it down into 2 ??150m2s lay??
Give me some feed back because I must have been doing something wrong over the last 20 years !

Me thinks ,you have swallowed the dangling bait ,

 

[taylorhendersonplastering]

You could be right it stinks of bullshit

 

[Wayners]

Put fibre tap across. Just as it's setting pull off to create a line.. Then plaster the other side. Normally get the join tidy but a little sandpaper when dry finishes it off..

Hahahah I found it funny myself when I read it

 

[Dropsalot]

Had to tack a 200m2 ceiling back in the day,........phew, took a bit of doing I can tell you..........but after dinner, chips & mars bars washed down with the old orange coloured lucozade, we were buzzin’, so we just smashed it on......looked good considering my mate helping had never mixed up, and I only had a bike cog on a stick..........

Ahh the old days,.......think they were longer you know? ......three thirty seemed to take an age to come round......
