Be easy to bond and reskim

I always take responsibility for protecting it from rain. Had a few customers over the years try to push me into doing the job when forecast was s**t. I always say no but if they are insistent I get them to text me a disclaimer

Pearl jam Yellow Ledbetter

That’s some special looking block work

That wants over boarding properly

Maybe the water in the bricks below the injected dpc has migrated down and f**k*d off out bottom into footings Water in bricks above is sat on the dpc slowly evaporating out the face

Mono is a s**t product end of. Thin coat is a hundred times better

Nothing worse than waiting for it. I did a load of rendering, he didn’t pay me for 2 weeks I went round and he’d stood on the dwarf walls, damaged all the render and he wanted me to put it right for free

The jobs near Doncaster, I’ll email you from the web site

Iv been tasked with a very ornate coving repair The only 2 men I know that I could have gone to for help are now very unfortunately both passed away. I’ll do plenty of research on YouTube etc Any advice from any wise spreads on here? Here’s the job

Yeah think you can get it in screwfix

My old Stanley used to more often than not fire straight through Travis (expamet) beads

I know but on the occasion you miss it would be nice if it went through the bead

I bought the dewalt carbon fibre one, absolute load of toss I’d say at least 7 times out of 10 it can’t fire through a bead. Been thinking about a battery one myself

Where abouts are you

I think your getting to hung up on the lime situation If there’s cement and lime in the mortar then the lime is just used as a plasticiser, it’s not doing a deal to the mortar. Yours just looks like sand and cement to me, how do you know there’s lime in it anyway? It looks like cavity wall?

Post some pics

Send me some to try

I don’t use it for stop beads, it’s not suitable

I don’t see why all the hate? It’s not for every single bead you’ll ever fit, but it works really well at the right time and place

Hmmm won’t that create a gap behind the back side of the bead though?

Don’t like them on stops, leaves them flapping Good on angles though I still use my roll can’t fault it

I use it for everything, that pic is tip of the iceberg there the jobs huge

Been on 16” for about 3 years it’s mint, been on this lime render with it the last few weeks

Thing of the past on new builds maybe but I do plenty on refurbs and heritage jobs

You could always scrape 3mm of bell end cheddar off your cock Sarcastic c**t

What’s wrong with it now? Your post says it’s been done then you want it done again? If you want to keep the bullnose dowels then get them to plant a stop bead either side

Real men use a 16” perma start to finish

Will they all spray masonry paint? It’s I’m going over blockwork and asbestos roof panels

Why can’t you say L I ME G R E E N on here??

Best backing plaster is l*m*-g***n ultra, it’s lime based insulting plaster, topped with their duro top coat.

Float and set

We’ve got a decent sized job on in a local industrial unit, the client has asked for it to be sprayed, there’s about 200sqm of wall and similar ceiling Usually I’d sub this out but I do like having a play with new tools, anyone got any experience with airless sprayers? You can buy from screwfix...

As it happens Iv been watching a few of this guys YouTube videos recently he’s a good spread!

I don’t get the fascination mate Especially when people put it on high suction like bare artex stipple

Update; I had the perfect job for a speedskim today, 6.8m long 2.8 high stud wall new boards, nice and flat. I laid first coat on and straight on with the speedskim. I wasn’t impressed, it pulled in ribbons like tiger stripes, I ended up going over with a trowel again to neaten back up. Second...

Stick to pva

It will be fine

you can only follow the face plane of the surrounding wall where you’ve knocked off the render. Or your wall will twist into the frame

Wasn’t there someone on here who made his own??

Who My grandad used to do that with his flat cap

Surprised at you having nest, online connectivity energy companies selling your data

So Iv finally caved in and bought a1200 speed skim Everyone who I know that has 1 loves them and Iv got a fair bit of board work coming up. Is there any bedding in needed? Iv got the all plastic 1 so just for flattening after laying down, save a bit of effort

What app is that

Have your best guess and see how you get on…like we all did when learning. If you f**k it up change something and try agsin

It’s a weeks course for the basic qual, then I did extra for wet installations so I can link upto heating systems and I also did an extra day for twin wall chimney installations. Both were worth while, I can’t remember the initial price but it wasn’t cheap and the place I did it has since closed...

3 sided look dog s**t, looks like the top half of the chimney is t connected to the bottom in my opinion

True it does, tilt your phone it goes level

Iv been fitting them nearly 10 years now, easy money you need a labourer and scaffolder on hand. It’s flat out October to March, you can earn 1k to 1800 a day through winter no worries The hetas course is easy and they advertise for you on their website I get maybe half my customers from...

Looks nice if you run up over on to the ceiling
