My last plastering job last week just as I finished.. customer said the joiner had Covid an he was around late thirties.. said he took 3 weeks to recover an even after that couldn’t climb the stairs to get more work done. Roll of the dice how you react to this s**t. So if you have savings...

Still early days from that post then. I’ll stick up a review this year see where it goes.

Cheers bud

Anyone using or used one on here? Ordered a 14x5 wooden handle. Keep is half interested in this game for another we while ha!

I heard tyzack aren’t the same these days? Never had one myself. Do they do carbon

Carbon! It’s the way forward. Blows all these fancy trowels back the shops. Don’t even consider Ss now.

I’m in the middle of the job so just finishing it tomorrow then I think I’ll down tools an rebook work feb. More an more people I know are getting Covid unlike before you didn’t know anyone close to home.. really Is a roll of the dice to how bad you get it ?

Yeah cos they think it’s sending the wrong message or it’s keeping the police in a job or most of them.. they don’t want the war on drugs to end ha! They all can’t walk about the streets telling youngsters to stop playing football at the shop shutters

Think of the money the government would benefit from taxes on drugs.. why they don’t even consider the thought of it is beyond me. You’d put all drug dealers out of work an cut crime an drug wars an the list goes on. Anyone who does want to take drugs can with knowing there are taking non mixed...

Why they don’t legalise drugs at this point is crazy! Old fashioned governments an can’t welcome change an new ideas. every government in the world in silence about how it’s animal agriculture that’s killing the planet! Massive fishing waste in our seas etc. It’s all kept quite an if anyone...

Drugs is through the roof where I’m from! Looks all normal but when you no what’s going on it’s everywhere! Crack Cocaine is the new coke! People who you wouldn’t even think are on it! Your kicking your c**t In to make a decent crust an your fellow mates are slinging crack an making tons! Living...

Generations of hidden secrets storing plaster right here!

Use the yellow indestructible buckets myself last ages.. bought the blue ox an never noticed they were smaller! An the logo in the middle grabs dirt! Pain for cleaning. Pain overall. Buy the yellow ones on eBay! Top notch.

I got the ss blade 450 but don’t use it.. maybe you’ll have success. Original blue speed skim broke in sweet as a nut. One/maybe two flatten.. trowel takes over. Jobs a good ane.

Amazing bit of kit

Why not build it up with beckerboard or whatever until you reach a ok thickness to scratch an top coat dash. Obviously need the correct material to go over beckerboard.

Use derby for external all the time. Beads are for pussies

Supper

It’s a shabby job! Any proper roughcaster/renderer would know. Cutting beads short/ the closeups on the scratch render itself shows it’s been shy on the coats an the scratch back wasn’t dry enough, basic observation. Is it the worst job.. prob not.. doesn’t mean you have to accept poor workmanship.

Why ?

An there timing on the scratch is premature! Needed to be left longer but no point mentioning that now llf.

Looks rough tbh. Seems shy an not built out enough at the beads.. coats weren’t build over the corner an scratch back flush.. looks under built. Meeting points on beads must be spot also.

Rave 1990-92 ha! Class. Like my house gens myself but do dabble in a lot of other stuff. Any sets up? Sound cloud

Mint set up! What music you running through it? Always fancied the technics myself but just running the software so you don’t need to buy the latest records. Had a few pioneers an traktor set ups myself until the kids came along! One day it shall return I’m hoping! Haha!

sounds like a plan

Ah right ok. No the house has been extended. I’ve explained this to the customer but he’s leaving it up to me. I just don’t want this failing an coming back to me in the long run.

It’s already been put on the building bud. What does mgo mean ? Why isn’t these boards allowed anymore? Enewall have products that are designed to cover these types of boards but just haven’t tested this one.

No there not an by that they can’t warrant it but you could still possibly use there product. They just haven’t tested that pacific board. So basically I can prob use it but I won’t be covered if it fails. Pain in the arse.

Sick of these prehistoric prices! People like you driving hard working wet traders to working for piss money. Wallop!

Has anyone used this board on external roughcasting? Customers used it but not heard of it. Use enewall products usually but there not sure. Anyone went over it before?

Does having a new van get you more work? That is debatable however having a shiny van does “ look “ more successful in my opinion. Everyone to there own I guess. As life moves on I do see less a less of old cars been kept on an in pristine condition, the nature of cars seem to be the “new car...

Your missing the point. I’m looking at it as a business standpoint. In others words looking the part could get you further in business as it does in other careers. Just because we are in the building trade, doesn’t mean we need to look rough.

Changed times.. rocking up in a clean new van is apart of the game! Customers appreciate appearance. Your rust see van ain’t impressing the Jones.

Plasterersforum ? A) A forum for professionals to share knowledge an new material techniques an some banter along the way B) answering diyers plastering questions on how to plaster. C) both answers above

:LOL::LOL::LOL:

I’ve got a Vauxhall vivaro on hp 16 plate.. had it 4 years.. away to get a £2400 electrical fault!! f**k**g raging. The days of simple repairs are slowly drifting away.. everything’s going electrical an bills will be a fortune, cars are basically computers. Lease a new van.. got warranty an pay...

Prob out of date british gypsum plaster re bagged with new logo an a bullshit story to sell it. :descansando:

If it’s enewall gear. Put a bit of normal cement in it. Goes off rapid!

Seemingly b an q are staying open due to them being essential for home repairs

Is that lockdown

Boris is away to come on soon. Who’s betting they won’t even mention self employed again. They will just say there’s still working on a solution.

Well most People don’t have the funds to treat it like a holiday who properly cover a lot of the uk. I do have empathy for the elders of course but once again I’m sure the governments have been warned from virus experts about such events but yet put on the back burner cos it doesn’t aid there aids.

No worries Dickieo

So the government still haven’t worked out anything for self employed people. So they expect us to go into lockdown or stay at home for the country an while not getting any form of income to cover us. sorry but my kids come first an if I need to work to put food an pay rent well guess what...

I see,, well I think it’s a decent idea myself, sometimes you can’t get a fixing etc roughcasting especially, the times I’ve lost the nut tring to fix a bead or when new lintel has been put in.. this would be a dream for that.

This not just gorilla tape with holes in it lol you can waterproof gorilla tape these days that sticks to anything an under water.

I really don’t understand why there’s no competition in the manufacturing of plaster. Everything nowadays has a rival. Bg have ya by the balls.. so they can do what they like cos they no your going back the next day for more gear. There’s clearly a really noticeable difference with this pure...

this is what I mean,,your on about the army,, training every day I imagine an being pushed by yourself an others. That’s a different story. I’m talking about the everyday person who gets up an goes to work etc. They get fed this crap about do this an do that an your have a beach body, protein...

Yeah that’s what I was trying to put across
