God that's terrible! I've had some complaints about multi but that board is shocking!

I have used stixall on cement board with success but it was only a small fireback

Get in touch with k rend and tell them what board it's going over and they will let you know.

Still working here? I like it.

A bit of sandtex and it will be fine[emoji3]

I've got the T.P.F. App on my phone. I used to be able to like but since having a tech break, I come back and come back the app is a little different.

I've got an android phone atm and can't find how to like or dislike posts?

Gutted! Luck of the Irish for sure.

Like it[emoji106] da iawn

Certified insane to use unfinished maybe.

I started out as a bricklayer.

I have not done this myself but I saw a place the other day and it had a stop bead against the window frame.

Yes always works a treat for me. So far anyway.

I like monorex gf.

Despite Econic saying that monorex gf will be OK on their board, I got in touch with the parex rep and have been told don't (which was my gut feeling) and he has specified maite with mesh basecoat then ehi gf to finish. Thanks for the heads up Owls.

Can ehi be sponge finished like the monorex? If so I'd be able to suggest that. I have a parex stockist nearby. I could get the parex rep to come and look at the job and make a spec just to cover my back.

Have you tried it Owls? I have questioned it and the econic have said its good. More information the better. I have done a test panel on a sheet a couple of months back and its OK.

The board is Econic board and is approved by parex and krend. The finish is going to be monorex.

I have installed a render carrier board on a job (customer is supplying the materials) So I now need to tape the joints and have asked for the filler and tape and he says that just the ordinary joint scrim is fine??? Surely this can't be?

Roughcast all over the place here! A bit less recently tough.

But cows can apparently. That's what I was told as a kid;)

One of these don't miss a beat;)

Thanks @A.plasterer

That shouldn't happen either. Anything that crosses a cavity must have a tray over it to stop any moisture crossing through.

Water should not really be coming in even if it is not rendered. Unless there is a problem with the trays over doors and windows etc?

Fill the joints if they are not filled. Give it a scratch coat 4:1 sand, cement with waterproofer in. You can trim the bead down so it will fit the reveal.

Oh nice.

Was that sick pay insurance you had @Pug or something else. I dread to think what would happen if I could not work because of long term illness.

I've got a marshalltown sharpshooter hopper gun which is good and a cheapo toolmaker compressor. I have a 10m hose from compressor to gun. I've had this set up for about 8 years and not had a problem yet. I've not tried an ordinary sand cement mix through it tho.

Yes be diplomatic always. I always remember to smile whilst telling them to go and f##k themselves!

Next time don't mention how many days you think it will take just quote your price for the job and that's it.

No that's ting.

My local builders yard have them. I got a 14" stainless wooden handle for 20 notes but you can get them cheaper on eBay.

Marshall town are bringing out their own flexible blade trowel

Must be crap sand then. Loam, mud. Unwashed sand.

People don't half talk a load of crap on here!

You don't need a lot just a bit in a couple of mixes and it seems to be all over the wall.

Poo

I'd be interested in both. Im doing a job with monorex at the moment and is the first time for me to use the stuff so it would be good to make a comparison.

Do you have samples you can send out? Looks a nice finish

Maybe general building sand was used and not washed plastering sand. I've seen cat s##t in the sand do similar too.

Wanted to go into the armed forces after finishing school but I developed diabetes type 1 so that idea got binned. My dad was a house builder so that's where I went. Started as a bricklayer but took a preference to plastering and here I am.

I might try masking tape;)

Carys is north walian so slightly different dialect to me.

My spelling is!

Google translate is not that accurate with the Welsh language.

Heddlu is police yes, ambulance is ambiwlawns.

Da iawn. ;)
