Just ordered the 240v dewalt mixer, anybody else use one?

Where do you put your beads fella?

Ive had tennis elbow several times over the years... I find it best to go down to a smaller trowel.... I went from an 18" to a 12'' and also went back to a board and stand instead of digging out of the bucket all day everyday.... Not had it since....

Thats what the manager told me... They getting there standard weekly delivery... They cannot add to it....

Your merchant is poor then buddy, my local travis is getting the usual deliveries... They letting all the regulars take 15-20bags a week..

Too little to late.... They wont get any of my money again unless im really stuck.....

Using some that's just in date and been stored in an empty house, mixs strange.... Can still apply it 60 mins after mixing.....

Belle 1600e... Can pick up for £170.... Had mine 10 years... All parts available... Had to change brushes 3-4 times...has 160mm paddle on it....

Looks alright to me.....

Think your travis is telling porkys..... Mine gets 2-3 a week.....

I will not use b and q now for that reason.... Travis has kept me going......

That does look like its on paper...... Over board using board edging beads... keeps the coving but alters the profile slightly...

Took my damp meter, dash cam ...but the scrotey bastastards pinched my bob hat and lynx deodorant also....wtf... :muyenojado:

Had v Had Clifford's on all my sports cars over the years.... Baffles me how people can buy a 20k van 6k of tools and don't invest in extra security..... I stupidly left the front of the van unlocked at the week end and had the cab ransacked.... The dead locks I had fitted saved all my tools.....

No they cant fella..

Put a Clifford concept 650 on it... It has anti hijack on it so they cant even get it with the keys.....unless you tell them the code......

Not to be an arse but get a professional to sort it...... You cannot skim over contaminated plaster... It must be removed, treat the substrate with an anti salt solution and render with a water resistant render.....let it cure for a couple of weeks then skim....

What do you prefer john the red bag or the blue?

Its a plastic trowel bud... I found it too rigid so sold it on....

My Travis branch has had over 12 pallets since re opening.... Still very hard to get some thought....

The price doesn't really bother me as at the end of the day the customer pays for the materials not me....

Ha ha ha... Sods law it was a family friend....

Defo grit, the ceiling was down stairs and i could shell the whole ceiling off.... Luckily i did this about 8 years ago and they didn't kick off.....

I have trust issues with grit....lol

Anybody got a review on the carlite ultra ?

Like your style my mate...... lol

Ha ha ha ... My mrs will be in but dont have a driveway and aint keen on 40 bags of skim being left on the pavement all day.... lol

Thats not to bad, dont mind having a day off if they let you know a definite day.. ..thanks pal...

Do they let you know which day it will be delivered buddy?

Was you informed of which day it would be delivered on pal ?

B and q got 2 pallets on Tuesday and the 1st customer walked out with 60 bags........

Result.....waste not want not.... I get my lad all 3 kits every season from china...£15 a kit.lol......

The United kit us older than the lad....:ROFLMAO:

Nice tiles but poor setting out with that slither at the top....

Should be 5 per trade card........

Thats were using a merchant pays off rather than b and q/ wickes... You can build a relationship and get looked after.... Im due 30 bags on Friday and the manager rang me to offer me them..... Does not want none regulars and profiteers getting them.....

Hotel stay, :LOL: said i canvasing for business..

Not at all.... 1st manager they had was an arse.... He was grumpy, not help full and moaned like hell if you returned anything... This new guy is helpful and on the ball..... Might get them some biscuits at xmas....

I have a similar list but travis ain't on it bud... Got a call yesterday off my local travis manager to say they are due skim in this week and do i want some as he doesn't want it to go live on the website as none regular customer and people out of the area will snaffle it all up...... You...

Cheers pal..

Yep, happy to neat pva and skim, only guaranteed if over boarded..

If im honest i dont think it was.... I think it was one I got off sovereign (damp course company)... But my problem with the grit is it only provides a key.... No adhesion....

I like the bostik but its the 2nd one that has failed on me.....after taking the whole ceiling off with a wall paper scraper i will not use again....... The bond between the skim and grit was piss poor...... I got the whole ceiling off and didnt remove on bit if grit.......

Well i went back to the job today and could completely shell the whole ceiling off... lucky the whole thing didnt come off on top of them.:mad:

I agree, ive had 2 fail now.... People have said i should have Bonded it out before skimming but the instructions say to apply, allow to dry 24 hours and skim out as normal..... Skimmed some painted walls today and pva'd them will almost neat pva.... Was sticky as buggery... Prefer this to grit...

Going to overboard using board edging beads so i can leave the coving in but just alter the profile slightly.... Done this before but hadn't seen them at the time of doing the original job

I devil float sand and cement because of the water proofer but do not devil float binding....

The thing i dont like about the primers is that the just add a mechanical key, the dont act as an adhesive ...

Im going to sort this ceiling out this week but looks like i will be able to sheet the whole thing off...

Not sure, it was 5-7 years ago i did it.... and it came off about a month ago....
