Can I copy and paste?

Looks a good product, would be good on a job where time is of the essence!

If you are using wood wool boards like I think you are describing, you do not need to dampen them. I do 3 sand to 1 lime putty mix. (Add fly ash or brick dust in winter to speed up the set) Mesh embedded in scratch coat and no need for fibres then. When scratch is sufficiently hard dampen down...

But it’s the only tartar I use Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Il get a pic of the finished job, I bonded it this afternoon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So what would be your advice on the situation? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Forgot about fibres. I may do that I think. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is no damp and judging by the stuff that’s on there it’s not breathing very well as it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Usual then. Bet they used one-coat too[emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking as a precaution because there is some carazing in the render. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It will be a ball ache to hack it off it’s a limestone-duff render and the chisel is bouncing off! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got a wall to over plaster and make flat. It’s currently sand and cement and all over the shop. It has some crazing but it is solid absolutely rock hard. I’m thinking I might rendergrip it and pull it out plumb and flat with bonding with the mesh in it and then skim it to finish. Anyone...

Don’t know what cream of tartar is like in multi I’ve only ever put it on my scampi. I had the xtratime for free to try out. It’s usually a rolling gauge if a massive area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mix the first coat a bit stiffer and it goes on nicer. I got given a few sachets of halftime and xtratime and it really does improve multi. But I’m not going to get them just to improve a mix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, no tile jess. He wants either micro or Venetian instead of tile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a couple of rooms on a new build I’m Plastering that have marmox board fixed in the bathroom and an ensuite. The client wants them skimmed and a couple of feature walls in either Venetian or micro-cement. I’ve never gone over marmox before personally so do you have any tips please? Same...

We were friends before he was a spark. Our friendship has been frayed a few times. He’s a top bloke but some of the boys he employs are complete waste of time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was skimming an extension before. It was an electrician’s own house. When I turned up one morning he had not got all the boxes done so he was rushing around getting them done for me. The bloke is a mate so I gave him a hand. The thing that really pissed me off tho was the fact that the two...

Should have stayed on your feet [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I posted a thread asking if anyone had used the self adhesive kind as I saw it in a catalogue that I had. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Could have done with some half time when doing a chimney breast the other day! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe @TheWand could sort that for you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw a bloke using a petrol one before. I’d never seen or heard of them. I thought someone was using a strummer in the plot next door, petrol fumes and smoke coming out the window! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love uncovering things like botch ups on rip out jobs[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Blow torch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s my rule of thumb too at this time of year. No more laying on after 12 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wack sell it too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And your company will only be as good as the worst tradesman. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been asked to do Venetian yesterday funnily enough for the first time in 23yrs[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How thick is the footing Danny? Underpinning would be a waste of time on a wall of that size just like others have said. In the time you would have faffed about with the underpinning you would have knocked the flank down and redone it all. Helibar would be a make do job and quite strong but you...

Looks like it’s cement with coarse aggregate and splattered on with a brush. Maybe[emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I want to screw customers I just go through their drawers and take anything valuable [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The biggest problem when doing float and set is when door linings are on the piss. Otherwise I find it pretty easy to get walls flat and plumb despite block work being bad because you set all your beads around windows and externals perfect and can rule off from them. I always check the internal...

f**k me an architect that says he don’t know, never knew there was such a thing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks @Wayners Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do you set up a monthly payment @Wayners? I’ve just had a hefty tax bill! I normally have half a year on cis but last year was all private work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In my world the customer pays for the materials and a little bit on top. I tend to put my own rates up every year too. If some of you out there are so concerned about the cost of materials just give your customers a shopping list and get them to order the materials for you? Sent from my iPhone...

Has anyone used or using this stuff? Seen it in a wack booklet I got today. Metre wide self adhesive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Krend is a manufacturer same as Weber parex etc... krend is not a name for a finish but a lot of people think that a scraped or textured finish is called krend for some reason? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s amazes me that some don’t put nothing on materials.... If I could get away with 20% I probably would. I do get a good trade discount on a lot of things through my local merchant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Put 5% on materials. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can’t see anything wrong with that myself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve used blue grit before over cement board before. It still pulled a little and had some blebs but was ok in the end Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

£10p/m2 from now on after reading this thread[emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As is said before above. Get it specced by Weber, krend, parex or whichever manufacturer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been in the trade 24 yrs and still learning. Might learn to put beads on properly in 3 days Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks sharp. I like it[emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel like doing the same! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you turning it the right way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would love to see pictures when the job is done[emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
