Love the one coat, you can pretty much shape it to whatever you want.

If its thinner in some places then thicker then that ceiling was quite a shape, your plasterer was obviously trying to straight it out as much as he could. To why this is cracking and coming off maybe because artex was really glossy and he used pva instead of something with grit in it.

This is shocking, how they get away with this ? You should have metal edge of the bead visible all the way round, nicely wiped to create sharp corner. Same with internal corners, looks like they never used twitcher in their life...

It depends on the background, if you pva and you can pretty much feel pva few min after applying it, then you definitely need another coat and best to get it on when tacky, but as someone mentioned above, worth keeping a sponge float in your toolbox just in case. Works magic.

This is such a wind up, from the start this sounds dodgy. If you are real guy, and really you are quite happy to call people thick and abuse them, then I feel for people living with you. Fair enough if you think you can do some work yourself but you should respect that some people doing it for...

Wondering how they managed to make vaccine in such a short time. I was reading yesterday on quora an article from a epidemiologist and she was saying that to make a safe vaccine on virus they know, takes around 7-8 years (they still don't 100% know what corona virus is and how it works)...

I think the only reason building merchants were shut last time was because they had to train their stuff to deal with covid safety measures, put signes up, get it all approved etc. Now its all ready so really doubt they'll shut. Bnq in swindon was like a f**k**g Christmas sale, people need to...

So far only one cancellation. I got a feeling people won't give a f**k about this lock down. I'm just hoping suicide rates won't go higher than a most dangerous flu

Flat one using flex 2, this is why it looks like this

I wouldn't use it inside fire place, its a brilliant material but I really doubt its heat resistance.

That's why I went for hire purchase. Once paid off then is mine, there's no balloon payment or anything like that. I don't have to worry about not getting it damaged too much too. You definitely get still a lot of kit for the money on used vans, maybe not the best tech etc but it'll do.

Got a awkward one...

I was gonna get just rear door wrapped, instead of doing what I did before which was all over the van (logo and writing) as single letters etc, I'm worried about paint fading

Thanks for reminding, did it already. And thanks I personally hate white vans so I'm chuffed with the colour

Finally bought it 4 days ago, absolutely love it, thanks for all of your suggestions.

I had it for about 3 weeks, I was worried I'm gonna have it for years to come but it went on its own. I'm only 26 so just scared it'll come back. It was absolutely life destroying. I feel for you guys.

Obvs after

That was a whole house reskim done by some cowboys, I got through recommendation to fix the whole shate, so I did it, owner was so pleased that I thought she'll shag me.

I got some beams to cover up and was wondering what's the best masking tape you used and where to get it from. Cheers

Whenever plasterboard was put like for few months prior to plastering, I always pva it, f**k knows what amount of dust on it and any grease etc, rather that than it going off in minutes.

I'm pricing up loads but keep losing it due to people charging a lot less, but I guess just stick to it. I won't do it any cheaper

£420 is really cheap imho

I'll never understand how people think they gonna get away with that kind if "finish "

I sponge my work second trowel straight after initial cross one, if it ripples of course, it gives away better fat to fill in with and the flex2 pass it's a dream. But definitely every batch of plaster is different.

Working with family member is a f**k**g hard work, I worked with my brother for few months years ago and we used to argue a lot. Don't miss it. Since he's got his own business and I got my own we are much happier and it's a lot easier to talk.

I stopped doing downhill biking, had few smashes just before lockdown and I couldn't move. Tried to clear a double and went straight over the bars. I miss it though, and will definitely still do it and pray for luck, I just enjoy bit of adrenaline. Anyone here into mtb ?

Getting Vauxhall vivaro sport 17 plate. Got a bit more for mine than I was expecting and payments are not that high. Its hp as well so will own the van in the future 5 year deal. Long wheel base only 50k miles on it and my favourite dark grey

f**k, if taxman is paying might as well go for vw transporter + hookers on the back

Right, drove transit 20 plate, really liked it, absolutely top of the top of vans. Would love one but payments are fair but high. Then later today I looked at 17 plate transit custom and although quite basic compared to 20 plate the payments and deposit are piss cheap and I would own the van at...

Going to test drive a custom tomorrow. Hoping to sort it out by the end of the month. Getting fed up with my van.

Renault was a joke, £400 a month with nearly 3k deposit over 5 years, no thank you. Vanarama seems to have a lot better deals. I did like to drive that Renault it makes you think about what difference it is between my old one... I got ford transit custom booked to test drive next week so I'm...

Same here, can't imagine keeping it pristine over 3/4 years, even though my van is always kept in clean condition

I saw their deal and they are actually reasonable, how long did you wait for the vehicle? I'm surprised their calculated tax together with monthly direct debit, that makes it easier to calculate out of the income

Cheers boys, got mixed feelings, but I booked test drive of Renault trafic tomorrow, see what they bullshit me with

I get it but still don't want to owe money for stupid things as general wear and tear that's why I thought about asking first, definitely plastering is not the cleanest trades, I keep my van very clean but I think I would have panic attacks when with brand new vehicle

No worries I do get it

Here we go again, like kids in the sandpit and I only want some help with van lease, would love to buy one but can't justify spending 20k on the van when its value would decrease more than half in first 24 months...

How strict are they about mileage? I heard about penalty miles if you go over. I got van signage too but the kind of that is stuck on the van, would they have problems with that and generally wear and tear is unavoidable so what about that? I seen some good deals on vanarama, thinking of Renault...

Hi, anyone of you got van on finance? If so what type of finance? Also what make and model and how much you pay ? I'm considering doing it maybe next year, my van is reaching really high mileage and I can feel it in my bones that it won't make it next year, so would rather just sell it soon.

Dont know how people get on with refina, much prefer nela flex

Started one today, it's like in the oven

It should really have a Belcast bead at the bottom and be tidy...

I got them from travis

f**k the arch formers

Phoned up travis perkins in cirencester last week to see if they got any, they didn't have any but I said to put me on the list, they phoned me up today after work that 20 bags is waiting for me to pick up, sweet f**k the ragheads in wickes

Very similar to universal one coat imho

Lath ceiling scratched in some old church I did few years back

Its depressing, I had to drive nearly an hour AGAIN to get 10 bags, when I got there as pictures above, everyone filling their cars with multifinish. I really don't understand that. Fair enough you diyer but do you really need all of 10 bags to do boiler boxing ? f**k**g insane, I'm really...

Looks like put on with a spoon

I started using sponge float for overskim on existing walls, it works magic and makes it dry one colour and it looks nice.
