I agree, just pointing out why there was a need for labourers in the past.

There were no mixers years ago. Bath rake,stick ,podger. Plus you had to scrim up your hessian and cotton scrim with a bucket of gear before you started. Then there were all the planks to set out to get a gauge of ceilings on. You needed a labourer then. Don't know your born these days.

Moisture board isnt supposed to be skimmed. It defeats the whole object of the board. If it is to be skimmed then it must be pva'd as a mate of mine when he didnt do the boards in the shower area at lancs cricket ground .It all shelled off.

Dont take any notice to a lot of the tips on tpf

Boards should always go across the joist and not with them . The age of the house is irrelevant.

Had this problem a few times. Had to double pva them,the problem was mainly with duraline boards which hadn't been up that long. Talked to some lads about it and they said bg compensated them for having to pva.

Why what don't you believe.

If your trowel is worn in right there is no need for flattening between coats,there shouldnt be any lines or trowel marks.

Just stick to your trowel always works.

Busy at the moment but you could message me for my number. 56 been doing it since I was 16

Anyone else had problems with duraline boards.Nightmare today went straight in as soon as I put It on. Gyp bonding it all tomorrow . I tried it in other areas and it was the same result. Ive had it before when sites have been open to the elements was wondering wether to get hold of bg to see if...

If the fixers are spot on then its a piece of piss.Alot easier than plastering and the finshed walls far exceed any plastered wall.But like I said the fixers have to be spot on.We did Bolton college tech department and didn't get one client snag .

Done it on powder coated frames just a bit more careful.Old school been there done it

The reason they give for using beads against frames is to stop cracking.Decorators always cork around the windows so there's no need for beads just architects thinking there clever

This is the correct and only way.All this b*ll***s with stop beads against the window is another load of shitebrought in by no nothing designers and architects.

You dont plaster them full stop.The fst is brilliant ,you can water it down to make it like cream. Spread it on and scrape it off. Quick sand of the angles the next day.The finish when painted is perfect and better than any plastered finish. You can finish a wall half way through and go back the...

Yep

Plasterspot, Plasterboard Indicators - Red | Gypsumtools

I know I had to google them.The sparks put them on the plasterboard(there stickyback plastic)where there lights are going we skim over them and when the plaster is dry they show through and the spark cuts his holes.Simple but brilliant

What a great idea.All sparks must be issued with these.No more dry plaster getting dragged across your wall ceiling and no more getting covered in skim

Mark the wall at 120 intervals Cut out your sockets mix the gear put the gear on the wall place boards on the wall,tap in with straight edge.Tap the ceiling and skirting board lines .Square the internal angles with the corner of plasterboard if you havent got a square.Job done.

Even if you get the tiles off you need to get the blobs of glue off. I Re skimmed one years ago and went over the blobs. The glue came through after a few months. Overboard is the answer

Don't have to prove myself to a no mark like you.You seem to be obsessed by me for the simple reason I think speedskim are shite.maybe you need to get a life and get off the plasterers forum for a while. Anyway I've got better things to do than waste my time talking to someone who is obsessed...

Good on you.Looking forward to seeing the video of Syria in your Orange jump suit.I turned down working on the palm because the money was shite

When you travel the world plastering as I have done all my life then I might listen to what you have to say.Until then you are an irrelevance.

Yeh what's your point

Yes

Rough as f**k when you zoom in.
