Thanks. I used fire cement to fill cracks and took the loose bead off and made good. Ended up ok, apparently they used normal emulsion to paint the inside

I know the guy who done it, he’s a local builder, used to play golf with him lol.

Found some victas heat resistant filler online, going to use that on the cracks and top section. Will explain to the customer there’s no guarantees as never used it before. Luckily I know them personally so will work out. Thanks

I know, didn’t really fancy it but he lives down the road from me lol.

Unfortunately not. I was thinking I can just use multi to feather in then advise to use fire proofing paint, would this prevent cracking?

Hi all. need some advice on a little job I had come through. Customer had a plasterer come and plaster her fireplace ( log burner in place) their are some cracks inside where he skimmed with multi and he attached a plastic flex bead on the top inside area, he apparently realised his mistake...

I done one like this before, bloody nightmare on your own. If I do one like that again I’d deffo either split the ceiling or get extra spread as it’s just not worth the hassle.

Did he put that price in for 1 day skimming it all?

I call it whacky foam lol, guys house I was working on recently loved using it.

It’s a nice feature to leave a massive hole in the corner lol. Terrible job background not prepped properly/ suction not controlled, dirty architraves. Obviously don’t know the situation but his work is poor to say the least.

To be fair it’s the people who chooses who leads us and dictates our ways as a nation. Look at terrorism, western people don’t understand why bombs go off and kill “civilians” around the world. We are all to blame for our governments actions. in relation to Scotland they just want their...

Speedskim wouldn’t do that, you can still use that as it’s banging. Go back to using your mt to trowel up, that should help flatten off and fill those hollows. You can still use your flex trowels just use for the later stages.

I would find out his daily routine, spend sometime studying his routine and driving routes. Then find out a black spot where he is vulnerable and give him a fecking beating.

I was thinking the same

Sounds like a right c**t, don’t let him get you down mate as he’s just an anal t**t! Put a light like that on anyone’s work will show up the slightest of imperfections. As the other lads said if it showed up in natural light etc then fair enough but this is just a joke.

I use the speedskim to flatten 1st and 2nd coat, lay on with mt and trowel up using ox ultra flex.

I personally do. I can see why some won’t bother though, I just think putting new scrim on not only looks good from customer point of view but is reassurance that there won’t be potential for cracking after job complete.

Just have to suck off a hobo every now and then.

I’m with construct a quote, get 1 mill cover for £58 a year.

But look into it first! Haven’t tried it myself. Just to be sure.

I heard white spirit on a cloth works.

Overboard is best method but if you really didn’t want it lowered it can be bonded then skimmed.

Makes sense mate

Not saying all are bud, just with how government want more housing, more pressure on contractors to finish jobs on time so I understand how it all goes. I do feel for people who spend £300,000+ on a new build when to a trained eye there are many issues.

Typical site mentality, chucking houses up which end up with numerous issues and poor buggers paying out the arse for s**t houses these days! Don’t get me wrong trying out different methods is fine but Iv seen plenty of s**t site work from numerous trades because quite frankly it’s not their rep...

wow that’s great! True fan then, iv supported them for only few years now, only just got into watching footy but I love their style of play. yes we deffo need a decent striker, I like Haalland he looks good but very expensive.

Emotional game for us with Aguero last game.

Haha yes but it’s all about the CL now. Leagues ours.

If your struggling to get in a gang maybe start off offering as a labourer? You will learn as you go then skies your limit.

Come on Man City!! CL final is ours. And we may have Kane next season.

Sometimes when using same gear for 2nd coat, if your timings off slightly you run risk of dragging the plaster over the 1st, so basically your putting 1 thick coat of skim on which causes issues.

Yes if you try hitting it you may crack the bucket rendering it useless lol

Was there any water damage from the hole in the roof? Seems strange but I agree with artex it’s best to overboard to get guaranteed result.

Was it a hot day when it was plastered? I had a similar issue with an artex ceiling, now I just overboard to be sure.

“The problem with Scotland is it’s full of Scots” classic

Have you been watching braveheart recently by any chance? Haha

Reminds me of demolition man when the car turns into foam lol

I used pregrit on a glossed wall and it worked a treat! I gave it a key then put pregrit on, let it dry for 24hrs then it’s good to go.

I agree it’s a bad idea and just greed from top fat cats to earn more dosh! However I don’t feel the teams should be penalised the way Neville said. Reason is it’s a decision ultimately out of the players/ coaches hands, yes give these teams a hefty fine or whatever but the guys on the ground...

Plausible deniability I like it!

Don’t take it too personally, plasterers are very meticulous with how they work ( the good ones anyway) and in most cases the plasterer would like to prep the area to be done. Definitely run it by your plasterer atleast I’d say

For a woman to go through a miscarriage is very tough on the mind, they may feel useless and broken in themselves. Just give her some space and maybe talk to your parents? Most important thing is to keep cool and remember your kids will need you, allow her to grieve and hopefully everything will...

Most important thing is you went back and rectified it, shows good character.

I used to play pub poker before pandemic, Texas Holden. Was good because there was a set buy in and you get food 2! Used to have a good night out and if you win it’s a bonus.

Haha yea did think oh wait probably not lol

She either won the lottery, has it on motability or rich mummy or daddy lol

That’s true bud I will need to look at it and make a decision, plastering has been a side line job for me. Didn’t take it up till I was mid 20s but built a solid rapport and reputation with local community so it’s always been there lol I do love plastering and by all means I would never do...

Everyone’s circumstances are different mate

Good on the guys that can I’m not as quick, don’t do it day in day out so happy with my rate. Quality over quantity with domestic work.

Lol yes but plastering isn’t my main job, so haven’t felt the need to up my price.
