Welcome Stan, I found my lower back was the weakest area after many years doing ceilings...so keep it strong.

I'm warming to that speedskim on a handle :fuckyou:

First time I've seen that used, looks neat but do you give the final coat with trowels.

Multi trader who doesn't know how to :cachetada:

New some guys a couple of years ago who got paid to go to Europe to search for big diggers etc that had gone missing from over here.

Dri-line it, the amount of glue there using don't fill me confidence....

Over hear you now have to do days H&S in a classroom for £120 and then do the computer for the card and that another £25.

Got to be better than what I've at the moment then...

Some of those twill ones seem to have more holes than tea bag....

Do you spread the plaster on with a 16 inch or is it just use to trowel up ?

Hackney in London and working for a contractor and doing maintenance for a housing association, had to do some rendering on a wall in the back garden. Knocked on door allowed in, there's 4 sitting around table 8 in the morning drinking special brew, place was a s**t hole and the back garden big...

A bit more info might help....

Had previous chats with guys that were good at sports at school and they suffer really badly with all limbs now. Me I was crap at sports so that wasn't a problem, doing ceilings crippled me on the lower back, most guys I know are in later life like me I'm 60 next month.

20 years ago my back really gave me hell, must of spent a fortune him/her and was at the osteopaths every month. Over the last numbers years been taking a high dosage Glucosamine 1,500mg one a day and hardly been to have my back sorted...seems to work for me.

I find other people just get in my way and I can crack on on my own, don't mention plumbers :cachetada:

First job on my own, forming an arch in sand/cement in 1975 as I recall.

You don't have moisture jumping across on the wall ties, had this on a job in Richmond, all walls had to be opened up....the brickies left so much muck on the ties the moisture crept through to the internal walls. Just a thought.

You've scratched it not floated it out...

I've been plastering for over 30+ years (more tiling nowadays) and neither have I got any qualifications, am I bothered. I won't be working on site again as I find it a joke, so many with helmets who are in charge who are knobs.

I'd be giving it a deep scratch with very course oxide paper to start with.

You don't use any gypsum products in a wetroom shower area exposed to the water. Where do people get these ideas from.

I'd say a big no personally unless the other guys know of anything.

I'd be using renderlite made by Sovereign as a base coat, stop any old salts coming through.
