Can't believe there's people like that out there that take jobs on who haven't got a f*cking clue

Just keep away fTom limelite horrible stuff! Looks mint before its painted!

not jealous mate - just realistic. I've been in the trade 10 years and I'm a superviser - my motto is quality over quantity, I wouldn't allow them to do that too! I've never came across a lad who can hoy a full room including a ceiling on in one! Don't know who would want to do that either, Yes...

I've worked with lads that said its amazing.... Oh aye when it's painted you see the figure 8's only use it if I struggle during my 35m2 hits

It was a like mate

No offence intended mate wasn't meant to dislike post!

When you pay a TRADESMAN to do a job for you do you expect it done properly or done with out the right guidelines and is it on for them to cut corners? 3 rooms a day some spreads yous are like!

Heard it all now. Ffs were supposed to be professionals then again people like you are what I call CHANCERS!

Here mate what size houses are you bashing on at? Average size room including lid? 50m2 so your telling me/other spreads that your chucking a full room in one hit? Can't be done like don't care what you say- done a massive hall which had huge walls in most you can do is 80m2 on good runs then...

Dont talk all so much f******** Bull shiit, 2 men 200m2 per day can't be done even with a labourer each! Don't care what you say- unless you hoy it on and just leave it! It's not competition it's our trade!

You know when you go to college they don't ever tell you how to one coat using BG multi and a sponge! do it properly, your getting paid for it and in my opinion it's just f****** laziness

Couldn't agree more mate yet I've just worked on a site where the Clark of works was aright nightmare after working nightshift and being provided one halogen light! Also did limelight renivating and impact finish on a massive staircase with 3 no 3m x 2.2m windows letting light hit the walls on 3...

My s*p*r*lex got bent in the van today due to the gormless labourer! Nearly broke my heart! Hate finishing of with the MTSS and another note I hate this time of year with poxy lights - can't get a true finish! Me and my pal worked nightshift used a halogen - never again! anyoffers on the...

Hack off and start again wouldn't try to attempt to put it right if it goes wrong do you think they will pay for 2 fcuk ups?

Couldn't agree more @GiantsJam! Wants the rugged look on the ceilings? You don't even know the technical name for it! How can you plaster if you can't get a good finish? Can you float walls and skim them? Stop robbing people and get spreads in that know what they're doing! You've asked me if I...

OMG it's people like your self that's killing the trade- just stick to mowing lawns and leave the plastering to the professionals!

Go to college and learn the trade, if not you shouldn't be charging people to do work if your asking questions like this!

"Hole house" you must be England mate are you? agree woukd of told them to get someone else in if they never phoned you but to be honest I think I would of checked couple of weeks before to make sure it was still on for the 1st

I normally charge £1.99 m2 that's with me buying the materials too!

Did you get over these what were they?

Got to say the renovating plaster is a joy to work with great product IMO!

Sounds technical, troweling with a grout rubber trowell lol, seriously??? How long have you got for the gear to set on board? If you wait 2 days for renovating backing coat to dry/set/cure I take it you won't need to put any adhesive on for suction control?

It's a staircase on a listed building, hall in fact walls are around 30m2 each x 6 plus window wall x3 all got to be done twice due to them wanting the base coat to be 20mm! Can only put this on at 10mm max then I need to scratch it put it on anymore it will sag! So I believe! It's the finishing...

Got 400m2 of this product to do next week can't wait!

Are you able to float walls?? 400m2 job if your interested?

I would personally use thistle bond it creates the best key for the skim to bond to, like others have said client might not wash the distemper of properly, expensive gear but cheaper than you getting called back, or the skim tearing on the lid!

Any grafters out there fancy some graft in the next two weeks? darlington?

If you can't get that done in a day your not a plasterer really- 3 hits easy! Half an hour prep new flat boarded walls! Come on man!

bag and a half for 8m2 crikey pal how much did you have in the job? Chucking money away there!

Thistle gypbond the lid never had a problem!

I wouldn't normally use krend but it's specified by the client, silicone FT, going to look at the job the mora, if anyone is interested please send me a message and i will be in contact in due course. cheers

Alreet fellas, I know this is in the wrong section but I will be posting in the right section too but am possibly going to need a spread who has k rend exp/applicator, based in the north east uk, if your interested let me know it keep your ears open if you hear of a spread looking for sine...

Why do most people forget about generators, crickey, some people make work hard for themselves! We're not living in the dark ages!

No offence lads but if we're looking at slowing down the setting off plaster then you shouldn't really be working on ya Todd! Get someone in as arti said mate! Take a loss on one job is better than making a bad name for your self and going back to to the whole lot again! Out of pocket even more!

Distemper is a c*nt...... That is all!! On the other hand av used thistle bond it on the walls, left for 24 hours skimmed and it was spot on!

Dont disagree pal there's some great spreads out there with a lot of knowledge, but if your still at college learn the basics first, personally I don't like it, been working with spreads that have used it, (wrong) as well and you get the swirl marks once painted! Far better with speed skim, 2...

Open minded??????? You like dropping the sponge in the shower too? ;)

George just stick to the ways you learnt At college! Don't watch you tube, my football team bought a player called xisco from watching you tube and he was ******* w**k!

Instick foam from travis Perkins is a class adhesive! Better than sticks like and it's made for boards

All the best mate hope you get back to work soon! ;)

I just got the Marshall town corner trowell @Hairybear leaving some naughty lines though!

yes the the glue is dry and it's much easier to use it his way, the only time I've ever had problems with av is when skimming the same day as @cassie says the pva will 'liven' up and it starts blebbing, the main use of pva is for controlling the suction of the existing background by sealing it...

Are you being serious? The reverse effect? Please explain? Why would I want to go on site, wait 1hr or so even longer depending on conditions for the glue to go tacky?? I've seen me unibond walls in the morning and they've still been 'wet' in the afternoon! Never had any problems in 12 years...

Yes i I glue the walls- then skim!

Looks like he's plastered the walls before the lid! People like him need locking up! Probably on this forum!

Chucking 150m2 on in a day and getting finished by 2:30pm! ;)

Just hire one pal from a merchant - unless your getting a load off properties without lecy I wouldn't waste money on investing on one 2nd hand- but new if you have the work load if not just hire pal!

Sod that pal- if no electric surely you have to get a genny in to supply the lecy! Gone are the days of mixing by hand and plunger! :RpS_thumbup:
