    Mixing bonding and hardwall ?

    Spot on. I found a light spray of water helped reduce the dragging but there's gotta be a better way.

    Mixing bonding and hardwall ?

    How does this devil up? Doing a little job for a pal today 7m2 wall hardwall and set. Just floated it up and it's awful dragged like buggery. Perhaps it was me but bring on the s+c next week.

    Fixing Permaguard 3mm membrane

    Drill 8mm holes with the hammer off. If the fixings are poor the extra weight maybe to much. Studding out maybe the best option.

    electrics

    It's def a better job to take them off. I have had in the past rusty boxes/screws snap. Whose paying for the repairs then? Do you do it yourself or get a sparks in. Either way your out of pocket. I now try to loosen the screws if it's tight or I think it'll break they stay on.

    Fan heater

    I carry a couple every winter. Little 2kw heaters about a £10er each. They are a must in empty houses to lift the temp a little get things going. And a kettle for hot water to speed up a set.

    What u pay for Multifinish

    You need to friend up the lads that work that side of the shop. I had a mate who worked the trade point. He'd text me when the plaster was coming to date and I would buy it up cheap. Like the yellow sticker joints of meat my mother in law used to get us when she worked in asda.

    Skimming over SC render - how long to leave render to dry?

    You need it to set, so the last coat doesn't pull off with the weight of the next coat. That will depend on suction etc. The waterproofer will kill the suction. So once the scratch coat is on, the next coat will hang for ever if you put it on the next day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
