Could also be dust inbetween coats. Definitely take a course. I've got over 30 years experience at life but generally cock up if I try some thing new that I don't understand

Looks nice mate

Looks like an intermediate switch not a normal one or two way switch

Speak to Andy in essex 01708344700

Ideally wherever you but your marmorino from. Most suppliers have toners or pigment to match their products

Yes you need white toner to make it brilliant white. Probably a few pots if to have a 25kg tub

Love the pun

Day out last weekend in northwich. Good day. Birroeed some gear off my pal. Caught 12 fish. Not a clue what was what. This was biggest thing I got. Anyone sellng a course rod?

I use a tri fibre case. Comes with squared foam insert top and bottom. Works well for all my Venetian trowel and I keep super flex in there too. Had it a few years and can't find my particular case on the website but it was about 50 quid

Sounds like the sealer doesn't have UV stability mate. A lot of sealers don't. All PU sealers are plastic in effect and can't have UVstability

:club:Love it when this place comes together. it's great to see the many go to some trouble to piss off the few

Done it before on my own stuff and never had a problem. Just because something isn't the noŕm doesn't mean it's wrong. The description on that grit clearly states it can go onto ceramics tiles. I've messed around testing and it will even go on glass and you can then plaster on that too. Any old...

Skip putting it on wall. Throw blue grit and pva into your mix. It will find it's own way on the wall

You can be taught a finish like this. Tough to pinpoint as it's a picture but it looks like a fine grained marmorino. Or possibly a liquid product such as cadoro

Hi mate. If your nearer to Essex I would say go to goldtrowel. I know Andy personally and think he's the best at the game. If you were up north I would say Andy Robinson as I've heard good things about him. At goldtrowel you can also learn micro cement and matallics and lots of different...

It's worth it if you can get the work marra. Regardless of money it's a nice change. Cleaner working environment and more relaxed. Micro cement is easier than Venetian too. If you make an error it can be sanded and polished a lot easier

What about board finish. Same as multi regarding out of date?

Fair one. It does look a lot better than in pictures. It's quite dark but that's what my missus wants. The white sink and toilet should stand out nicely

Not got many but here's the current state if the bathroom. Polished ceiling. Tadelakt walls to 3 sides. Vesuvio rock wall (venetian) to shower wall. Micro cement floor. Just got to seal the floor then I can fit the bathroom

Think it took this long to build the taj:eek:

I'm just doing a bathroom at my house at the minute. Floor in micro cement. Walls in tadelakt and ceiling in polished Venetian plaster. Will drop some pics on this week if I can get it finished

Also in terms of hardness it gets used on floors so this may answer your question

It would be the perfect option for your needs. Some are actually waterproof without the sealer however it protects the colour in the product ad without the sealer the colour would fade over time. Micro is hard wearing and will take a knock. Price wise depends quite a lot on product, finishand...

Horizontal

Cheers for mention. Too busy for time being unfortunately

Also there is a dedicated section on the forum for micro cement and Venetian plaster. If this link doesn't work then scroll down on the main forum page until you see it https://www.plasterersforum.com/#marble-venetian-and-micro-cement-plastering.86

I don't think that it's going to take off any more than it has already. There is a place on the market for micro and it's just another option of which more products are becoming available. Tho k it's just a customer's choice as to whether they choose micro, resin, polished Crete, tiles etc. As...

No worries marra. Just done as quick search and the Oldham Times looks the most local to the area. Failing that there is the Manchester evening news but I think that's more of a wide spread paper that covers the whole of the greater Manchester county

Sorry to hear about your mum. Best bet would be to go and see what local papers are available in your nearest paper shop. And ask what free papers get delivered. I think these days people still peruse through free papers and are more likely to see the notice

If it is marmorino it would have been done with a roller. Probably a spiked stipple then trowelled as it goes off to create this effrct

If I wasn't bombed with everything id come down mate

Only co.me and pavan for me marra. Tried quite a few but nothing compares to these 2

I would say yes mate. If your switched on and you pay attention on a course you will learn a lot. I'm not saying you will go on straight away to smash a big wall on your own but time and practice gains experience egg. Being clean is massive though. Any speck of crap can ruin your finish. You...

Hello. Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy. As said it depends in your sub strait. For Venetian plaster or micro cement it would need a plastered finish flat and Matt. If the customer wants the wall to absorb the water I would say this isn't a good idea. The wall will change in...

Hi mate, I've heard of a few jobs failing before but I think that co.es down to the manufacturers product. They have predominantly been from a new company trying to get on the micro cement boom market. If your going to do it then find a company that have been producing and selling micro cement...

As said marra, definitely get on a course. There is a lot you don't see when watching a video. If your trying to vein with paint then make sure it's lime based if using lime based Venetian plaster as an acrylic paint Will react with lime plaster

Cheers marra. I'm same. Couldn't touch it for 6 weeks

Starting to put together the timber for the roof on mine today. Looking forward to a few days off a trowel

How come. How is it on price

Anyone had it done. Looking at options at the minute and this is one of them but I don't know anything about it other than each companies own personal selling points

Underpromise and overdeliver

Probably is nicked but the owner will never see it again and nothing can be done so you may as well give it a good home. Needs some wire wool and oil to give it a good clean

Just go in and see the staff at your local Travis. Takes less than 10 mins to set up. I'm dead pally with staff at mine. I get decent prices on materials across the board. Free delivery too

Hi mate. There are other kinds but they are just as tricky to do if you don't know what your doing. If your on a budget then as mentioned maybe go with the large panels if your adverse to tiles. Your plasterer who is doing the rest of the house will either know and understand Venetian, tadelakt...

Still on hols today. Little one isn't back until tomorrow and the missus is working all day. Back doing a bit tomorrow

It's amazing how many people get away with finished work like this. Shocking

from 150 to 6000 grit for about 25 quid. Actris don't sell the pads currently

EBay is normally the cheapest place. You can get a varied selection of pads ranging

You have to be prepared to travel if you live in an area where the work out prices most customers. I'm in Manchester and the majority of local work to me is hale. Other than that it's a travel and stop over. The money you can make is well worth it. Your friend who only did 2 jobs should have...

Chester is a lovely day and night out. I'd recommend the queens hotel next to the train station. Easy to get to by rail and has a massive car park if driving. York is a lovely day out and the city is fill of history and interesting building especially the shambles area. Chester gets my vote of...
