Couldn't give a toss if you do either.

Ooh glass finish very good.No I'm saying the wall is f**k**g flat with no trowel marks in it and then if I wanted I could give it a finish like that with a trowel or plastic

You need your trowel to put it on the wall.When it goes on the wall it goes on FLAT. Everyone to they're own.Thank f**k I'm nearly finished at this game couldn't stand starting now. It's a very simple game plastering.

I've used mine for forty never let me down

Now and again..And like I said previously bg call it Ribbing so it's to Do with the material. Dont tell me speedskim solves this because it doesn't I know lads who've tried speedskim to see if eliminated them and it didn't. Just get your walls flat with your trowel which any decent plasterer can...

They're a waste of time and money. Just put it on FLAT in the first place with a trowel. Pretty simple really

This has got nothing to do with speedskim and I am very disappointed. If there are any other photos available I will reluctantly view them to see if they change my views on this tool.

Very clever.It would take more than speedskim to cure tigers Nice to see you're that interested in me you're looking up my posts

What the f**k is a set . I presume you mean gauge in your new fangled modern world

Bath and rake aswell.Knocks that horsehair and lime up lovely

I presume you're referring to me.When you get flown round the world to do squash courts and finish your day at two with plenty of brews then I might take notice of you.

It's not hard work if you know how to use a trowel

If you know how to use a trowel properly then you wouldn't need a speedskim.

Depends on what angle your positioning it in. I think the best angle is 90 degrees against a wall with your coat on it.

No.Tried it and can't see what everyone is going on about. If you've got a good trowel the wall is flat anyway when you put it on so I can't see what difference it makes. And yes I have tried it on numerous occasions and always come to the same conclusion

Take off jacket/jumper place on speedskim in corner of room. Mix plaster. Transfer plaster from bucket to hand board, transfer plaster from handboard to wall. Trowel up a couple of times and finish with a plassy if preffered,clean up. Remove jacket/jumper from speed skim and place on body. Say...

Dont know which one but I presume it was the Cumbria one as he was from up north

They're technical department admitted it I rang them to ask the question. I know it's your website but stop trying to defend them they know they've got a problem but won't admit it now as it will cost them a lot of money.They've even got a name for it "Ribbing" like I said.

Worked with this when I was an apprentice. Its unforgiving this s**t. Two of the older spreads had to give up the game because they're hands were f**k*d after 12 months without gloves. It also has its own finishing plaster you can't use multi.

Well why did they admit about 10 years ago they had a problem called Ribbing and they were looking into it.Also a guy who used to work there told me they knew they had a problem and the cause was probably bad clay as the mines now are getting near the end if not the clay they have also started...

They'll deny there's anything wrong like they do with ribbing.They're word for tiger's

I'm 56 and have tried in the past to get into teaching. Been doing this job now since I was sixteen and been all over the world plastering squash courts and teaching local labour how to do them. Because I didn't do my advanced craft I am not qualified enough to teach. Advance craft in the old...

Malc is busy googling I think.

I wear cotton gloves they're really good. They're not thick you hardly notice them

I hated wearing gloves on site but had too for health and safety. Never take them off now and my hands don't crack up and feel shite.Recomend them highly take a bit of getting used to but well worth it

Oh I forgot they're home for two o'clock everyday aswell

Listening to bullshit spreads all my life telling me they earn £1500 to £2000 a week on site where the prices are shite.I just roll my eyes and pity them now

I despair for this world. Explaining how best to take a piece of cellophane off a f**k**g pallet of Plaster.Mind you it's probably part of your nvq.Thank f**k I've nearly finished with the building game.

Fermacel is the future.

I thought Paul Daniels had died

No.I actually used a machine for the first time at mcvities in Manchester when we did the silo rooms.The last time was in Germany mid nineties could never understand why it never took off over here but somebody once said that Gypsum were that far behind with suitable materials that they and...

It just makes me laugh all these young pups wasting money on something that probably helps them but is totally unnecessary if they were taught properly in the first place. scrim and mixers are the only improvements that have been beneficial over the years and I was using machines in Germany in...

Twice and a Polish if it needs a Polish. Been doing it 40 years so don't need to be told I'm doing it wrong and the speedskim enables you to do it with 1/2 a trowel because it's brilliant. Like I said if you do it flat in the first place you won't go far wrong

Never read so much bullshit.Plastering is quite a simple but skilful trade.Skimming is very simple you spread it on FLAT then you give it a second coat FLAT.Then you trowel it up.Simple really.The only things over the years that have made this job easier are 1:Stick on scrim 2:Electric...

At last somebody speaking sense.You must be over 25.Expect the usual you're too old to change etc b*ll***s

Just get it flat in the first place like all proper spreads do and save yourself some money.l

Handels what water music or messiah

Pva and make sure it is tacky when applying the plaster.Any other way is wrong. Any decent plasterer knows this.

I wonder how many of these plasterers know what a Darby is or even a feather edge

Return without opening and get your money back.

They're f**k**g worse than 1990

What's happened to him. Not heard of him for a while

No you don't mate unless you want to work for £2.20 dabbing between £2 and £2.75 skimming,£2.50 floating and have the arse mithered out of you for health and safety.

A tiler telling spreads what's good for us.You couldn't make it up

Just stick to tiling and leave the skilful jobs to us.lol

If that's what you think fair enough.I don't think you do.We will have to agree to disagree

I did once when working with a mate.we both decided you don't need one as the walls are flat enough anyway

Because my walls are flat just using a trowel. They have been for the last 40 years

Never needed to

Speedskim ffs.Just get the the thing flat in the first place
