Same way as frank.

the plaster wont soak into fibreglass strands, so technically no where near as strong as you could pull the fibres out, where as hessian scrim absorbs the plaster. Fibreglass works, but its a nightmare to handle and hessian is far more tried and tested.

lol

Yeah. Have done on a few jobs now fella.

It'd about an hour for both of us but any later and we hit traffic and you will take 2 hours easy. So get there before the rush. In site for 6...although I over slept today haha

Well he ain't much use to me in Ireland! ! Haha

Where you based paddy?

Mist the mould with a solution of water and washing up liquid (mixed in a plant mister) then using a brush brush a thin layer of the mix into the mould first, give it a tap. then cast the rest tapping it as you go, Will remove any air bubbles 12 hours to take out he mould though! jesus id be...

Still looking

Was told growing up that I would never get into this trade...turned 17 and was hauled off to the workshop to start haha. I have a good life. My dad does Grandad does And great grandad did. Plastering trade has served us all very well and tbh couldn't imagine myself doing anything else.

Cheers Mark. You guys busy?

I'd be ok if you were not swanning off to France with Ben!

I have a good 2-3 weeks work in Liverpool for anyone who has a cscs card and is interested in doing some fibrous work. You don't need to be able to do fibrous work. It's more labouring really but I will show you have to do things to make the job more interesting for you and will happily let you...

Where are you based? Just get a company to run a length off and fix it up.

welcome along mark, where you based?

Wax and buff several times. The more you do the better the mould will come out and easier.

Practice on something smaller before attempting a full mould. Run a model. Shellac and wax it.several times. Paint on a layer of gel coat. Leave to set then layer it up with matt and resign.

It's a lot of bolloxs is what it is. A long with there casting plasters. Absolute rubbish and a rip.off in price. Switch to lafarge/siniat mate

hammer and a chisel. simples. hammer in along the ceiling line. level it down. will fall off.

did u get it done?

Danny tell them to sort there pricing out! There lafarge equivalents are nearly half the cost!

Tell him to shove is down pipe up his down pipe

Its where I live mate. No footie players round here they all live in gateacre(where in use to live) and woolton.

Came from a mulberry email address. Not spoofed email. Gonna wrote up a quote and send back later. See what happens. If they pay a deposit befote manufacture then the rest before shipping then happy days. Be a nice job.

700 is a huge amount. Its for the cat walk apparently. Last year they had miniature wedgewood tea sets made. Now this year they want small corbels.

Had an email from mulberry the expensive hand bag make. Asking for a price for 700 yes 700 plaster cobels by February! Not sure if its a wind up or not. Frank did you get an email about this?

"Are you Muslim?" Get that alot

British gypsum or lafarge/siniat

Well here's a good place to start. Stick a post up listing your location. Do you drive? Own tools? Experience? Why you want to do it? Etcetc. You never know.

You won't be able to scribe it. 45 it or as close to the angle as possible. Fit up. Then fill the gaps with casting and carve as it sets. I did a post on fitting cornice a while back. Will dig it out.

Its a good price if you can do it in that time. They had to pay 4 days labour. And don't forget tax. And all other business running costs.

Wezly my bad but that's based on my montly fuel cost split between 5 working days a week. Regardless its cheap price. Cheap work.

Are u happy taking 70quid a day home for running your own business? Seriouslt undervaluing yourself there

But it was 2 men 2 days.

I didn't add 100 for fuel. You mean materials?/I just guessed that cost.

Insurance is around 140 and I'm doing £120 a week in petrol. So 620 Divide that by 20 working days. £31

Firerated means it takes longer before it will burn. It doesn't say fireproof!
