Stopped mixing my own nine years ago...just use bagged material now More expensive but Consistent(and its pigmented)

You can also buy a lime finish for plasterboard called solo if that's any help...

Hate it compared to what? I don't like the cost of it though

Used loads limelight renovating and finish Great stuff...

You can yes... Ryan's the man to ask (he may reply later) @Plasterers1StopShop

I only do opposites(don't so so much gypsum finish now) even with lime finish

Think @Danny may have sorted it by now

I never see any knauf skim in merchants??

How old is property and Do you have a fan fitted to bathroom Is plaster hollow (blown)

Needs hacking off and redoing...

Problem with all of this is ... Using today's standards to judge and pass sentence on the past.. The main thing is that it ended and things changed .. Chucking coulston in the water won't change history

Problem with TP is if manager is shyte he get sack If he's good he gets opportunity to move up .. They don't stay long..

In the early 00s used to do all the plastering for a conservatory co..... Lads had to finish plasterboard in a conservatory with a glass roof and of course it crazed think we ended up reskiming it Was a lesson learned Martin

Not the best ....It's lacking the detail and due care .... He should come back to make good/re do But worse case is a few hrs with the filler and sand paper... Don't know why people leave jobs like this..

We had. A outty lime job recently where the pipes had been covered in metallic tape Trouble was they were back to brick but that doesn't give lime anywhere to bond to....and no depth to it either We ended up cutting chase out wider Electrician had run his wires and left them unpinned and...

Sun shining across internal work is brutal... Tell em to Keep curtains closed

Rough f**k**s

Being gypsum based it's not good....

Welcome

I would order from a supplier who makes non hydraulic lime mixes ..in either tubs or 25kg sack(1 ton bulk bag) Is your house listed?

Fuss about nothing !

BG also own all the open gypsum mines in this country i believe

I had a couple lads on books for about five years but decided to go back solo.... Best thing i ever did.....less stress but harder work.. Now my son works with me ....good as gold no trouble...

It's a lottery to find the right person ... If they are any good they are alresdy self employed ...

Mono St astier esp has mostly lime/sand with only small percentage of white cement Agree with your Comments though ...they don't really want to tell you exact proportion cause it's a secret...

What was the old surface... Artex ....or old lime ceiling or. Hope not new board??

He would probably add some hydrated lime ..which will make it more workable rather than add breathability We use bagged renders because we mix/apply by render pump and find the mix more consistent You didn't ask for the cheapest solution and it comes down to what sort of job you want

You could go with a modern bagged lime render (coloured) This will contain Sand/Lime /Small amount of cement which will aid set and Will also be breathable It's best if you find someone who has used the material before .. Mono St astier or prb belle epoque would be ideal

I suppose you know you were replying to a post from aug last year...

That seems a bargain as There's an ez been for sale on eBay must be 6 months for 3.5k bin

@Plasterers1StopShop

Think he may have done it by now ....

Neither

The holes in it may be a problem

Does anyone know if it is a new product or just BG repacked ? Esp as plasters have the same name Board,multi and Hardwell

I've got the standard gun but the plastic tube has split but have been looking at the long reach guns with the material shut off anyway.. Will try and buy tube as well though and repair the old one..
