    Fixing tolerances for metal studs

    It will be fine. As I said before not breaking the paper on the board is the most important thing. If you do just put another one in an inch away. Self drill screws are for heavier gauge metal such as met/ sec. Normal fine thread drywall screws suffice.

    Dewalt Carbon stapler

    Can't remember off hand its a while ago I got it. If I bought one now I would get that milwaukee one. It looks the biz. I think I paid £80 or £90. I would pay the extra next time as replacement batteries are cheap, so are chargers.

    Dewalt Carbon stapler

    Once you've gone over to a battery stapler you would never go back. I like to use 15mm brads and fire straight through the beads. Gets then nice and tight. Use staples if the boarding is naff.

    Cylicone renders looks bumpy with lights on

    If Brad Pitt shone a torch up his face he would look like quasimodo! No different with render, I can't see why people can't understand it. If you see up and down lights on brickwork it looks like the bricks have been layed with a shovel.

    The nearer you hold the flicker gun to the wall the flatter the finish. If you play about with the distance and wetness of the mix you can exactly match it. You just need a bit of patience.
