Why do they need more skimmers? All the big national house builders in the south tape and joint.

On high suction I like to give it a coat of sbr to kill suction and a pva over the top. Skims a treat.

Don't tell 'em Pike!

The 240v are quicker and have more torque.

Cheap 240v mixers out perform the 110v mega mixers. I have both and would chose the 240v all day long. I have extended the length of the paddle to save my old back! Lol!

Samsung all day mate.

I always liked hsb browning, we used to set it next day on celcons. Put it on, lay it in and trowel it up.

I would like to see someone else take over for the big tournament's. Let's face it me or you could pick a team to qualify!

I think the weakest link is the manager, he would not get a top job in the prem.

Moisture resistant boards are the most pointless thing in the world! Another con to get more money out of people. If they get slightly damp they snap like all the others.

No go straight over.

I have tiled on tile at my own house with this stuff. I could not believe how much better a product this than plastering grit bonding agents. Paint on tiles and it is dry in 30mins. Why can't bg do the same baffles me.

I think its because we are coming out of the EU !

Is that a satellite picture of pluto?

Pre fill gaps. If those grey boards have been up a while pva them. They look like lathe boards, not seen them for years.

I first coat then flaten in mesh with a speedskim. Lays in a treat.

3 1/2 in or 90mm ish. For 127mm coving

Never use pva outside Unless its waterproof type.

Your read too many diy forums, this is from the white book.

Nope.

The only spec for 150mm centres is around m/f door openings.

It looks like he put the boards on the wrong way not across the joists.

We once did a job where the ceilings were plasterboard with lime render over the top. All the render was french made premixed 25kg bags. One of the bags was for board prep, you gave it a good key and put under coat then top to finish. It was a real good system, can't remember what it was called.

When I first started with my dad there was no pva, he used something called plaster weld for over skim. It was pink and came in a paint tin.

3 parts water 1 sbr. Give it a coat which will dry straight in then over again before scratch. The second has to be tacky.

Who he has talked to must be on about skimming not tape and joint.

My mate built a 3 storey house from scratch with bottom floor underground and the basement cost the same as the 2 floors above. Basement was half the build cost.

Its old carlite bonding. It used to have way more vermiculite than it does now. If you take a close look, it is full of it.

On the chase its a plasterers HAWK!

Good for joining compound, puts less air in the mix.

4 bags all day long if you put something down to catch the shingle .

Superlux took over from asbestos sheets. Often used in soffit on roofs, porch and outdoor ceilings and high fire rated work.

They sell aluminium skim beads in places like bricomart. Just stick them with yeso.

There's no skill in putting on anymore, any monkey can use a speedskim. The skill is finishing.

Salisbury, it used to be the same here 7am queued round the carpark.

I think the knob heads will be stuck with their plaster, my local wickes has had plaster 3 days running since lock down. F#ck em!

City 1up

Why in this age of tech can't you get a small machine sat in the middle of a room with short hoses that can fire on 5 to 6 bags of multi in 15 minutes. Would ideal for a 2 man gang without all the wear and tear on the body. Even if it didn't mix, it would not matter.

I love mine

Should also be solid dab around perimeter on external wall. He obviously hasn't lol!

The van haus is a great mixer, prefer it to my 110v mega mixer.

Hot mud is easyfill or fast set. I have prepared a big house for spraying, we used paper tape and easyfill with wet and stick on internals.

No mate but tape and jointed loads. Had a period doing maintenance for a major house builder and blown tapes were always stuck with air dry not hot mud.

Using joint cement to put tape on is asking for trouble. Slight bit of moisture it break down, always use a fast set.

Drill some holes in the roof! Lol

Its a heavy duty tape that can go on internal and external drywall. Knauf do one the same.

The plastic stilts that Danny featured are 300mm and are the dogs. I would never use strap on stilts as I would fall off them. After one ceiling I was away, be lost without them now.
