Just fill it in, then just cut it back to give a nice edge to work to. I pack out 10mm to give a bit of tolerance, I might scrape it back to 5mm if the reveal needs it to get the margin right.

Yes

You take the ply off and work to the reveal when it's hard a day or 2 later. Rendaid on before the ply.

No, piece of ply with a round hole in it fixed to the front.

Get a piece of ply and cut a circle out to the required size with a router. Do the reveal first and the front when reveals are hard. I pack the ply 10 to 12mm off the wall.

I use it a lot. Buy it on ebay 2kg at a time.

Sponge in one hand trowel in the other. Wax on wax off Daniel son! If you are seeing sponge marks you have left it too long.

Spunky have you used it on external sand and cement? If not, do you think it would work ok.

Give it a coat of pva over the top. Only go over sbr when tacky.

That's been painted before sanding. It is rough jointing though.

It was a whole bucket, 12 metres lol!

You can get tennis elbow with any size trowel. I had it bad years ago, I had to wear the splints with the steel bar between velcro straps for 6 months. They stop you over turning you wrists. Plaster like a windmill and tennis elbow follows. I put on now with ox 18in, had tennis elbow with a 14in.

Is blebs a northern thing like handboard instead of a hawk. Everyone I've worked with calls them blisters.

Use Instastick foam.

Drive the screws in flat. Skim over them. Find them with strong magnet then let them out again. Only takes a minute.

Use 75mm door linings set in the middle of the block work. Angle bead around either side of the opening.

I float with a 14in, but when you get used to skimming with an 18in it makes life so much easier.

18in ox stainless, Great for putting on. £30 on amazon.

Wear gloves. I used to hate them until we were made to wear them. Love them now, the thin black ones £12 for 24 pairs on ebay.

She sings on grafton Street in Dublin.

Levy and Conti could both start a fight in a phone box. Lol!

If you asked Brad Pitt to shine a torch up his face, he would look like Herman Munster. No different with Render. Those soffit lights are a stupid idea.

I used the white version that make, not fit for purpose. They should not be allowed to sell it. A builder I worked for had 24 rolls of the shite.

Have a Karlovačko for me.

Got mine on toolstation.com

As Andy said they must be so cheap to produce. Should come as standard when you buy a trowel.

£1 each is not bad. The postage is the killer.

Well worth the money, very impressed.

Me and my mates normally go on the Wednesday. We have had a couple of runners at glorious Goodwood over the years.

What's u tube? Someone said it on here years ago. Works really well.

A coat of sbr then pva over the top.

I said to all my mates Southgate was the the weakest link. He would not get a job in the prem. How Harry Kane was not subbed is beyond me. We had the best squad but he never looked like using it. Total clown

Scotland have done well in the last 18 months Stuart. They must have surprised you and many others. Nice to have them back in a big tournament, they have been missed.

Sack your painter, oh no you can't. You did it yourself lol!

A coat of sbr then pva over the top. Works spot on.

It's only the end that expands in the masonry.

Rawl bolts, you can get all different lengths.

Did he use 9.5mm plasterboard?

Algeeman which ox do you use for coating mate?

Game on now, it's been a cracker .

Ox 18in for putting on and first trowel, finish with a mediflex. Ox have the best handles by a mile.

His stand up shows are really funny .

Put a sock in it luv and make us a cup of tea.

I think people forget you are starting with a bucket of water which is level at the top when it is on the floor. After that everything I'd done free hand with a trowel.

Lol! I'm 62 years old mate. Done hundreds of houses all devil floated, eg in the days before drylining. When it was mentioned on this forum about using orange float I tried it and prefer that method. To date no skim has ever fallen off or delaminated. I must have been really lucky. Do you still...

I'm sure there was a thread on here before about keying hardball. Bg told someone on here it doesn't have to be scratched same day. You don't scratch plasterboard.

If you skim same day it does not need a key.

Use an orange sponge float it gives a lovely finish for skim.
