I think a skip on the job is the best one but also hitting green lights all the way in and out .

Having a tub of fibre lime sorts cracks out a bit of a piss about cutting the cracks out and filling but sorts the problem. Artex sealer kills the suction on old painted lime walls , have you not tried paper tape.

all this new brands of plaster, is just windmills in the mind.

This thread got to be a wind up.

site work got to be better , you have a standard of plastering what is expected from you. Re skimming is just the wild west with every fecking cowboy at it.

I think it will be a good move for you .

dont start smelling like a wet dog.

The Uk and like our own trade has been bastardise get use to it , after all we voted the w@nkers into power.

Well after been busy for 6 months , I hit the buffers run out of work this week.:RpS_thumbdn:

I give mine 2 coats pva if your skimming over plasterboard which has been artex then tell them when the ceiling drys they may get some cracks showing through which you will not be able to see because off the artex.

Yep I was the first one down our street to use it:RpS_thumbup: Did a gable in it was not on blocks but bricks have to to say I had total control over the suction . I would use it over blocks do not really see a problem, feel the fear and go for it.

Not many folk are willing to pay for a decent job sad but true nowdays, price is everything.

so this is your 2nd coming then.

You will not get a bronze tan been a spread mate:RpS_thumbsup: plastering prices still on the floor mate at present. but good luck with it.

It's not just about price mate it can also be how you are with people and how they see you. Job like that price there and then and it's a days graft even for an old fooker like me, unless the walls are really shite.

Will have to see what our super mod you know who has to say and not forgetting eddie.

Tell him it's all this fracking nightmare for plasterers.:RpS_thumbsup:

what matters is how much is in the sky rocket at the end of the day. 10 25kg bags try 10 8st bags lol

Plasterers always looking for the philosopher's stone.

give google a bell mate and ask when there going to pay some tax. just because someone is paid in cash dont mean he not putting through the books.

it is dog eat dog all I can say give it a go.

1978 was 4' in water in my house not fun mate that cleethorpes am talking about.. and with kids.

you have to laugh.

does it clog up owls like a lot of other point guns.

Any you guys use the pointmaster pointing gun .

your going to be dabbing onto old walls and it's only as good as the backing plaster what's on. Them boards are £26 in wicks. External walls plaster off sbr cement slurry coat then dab boards.

what matters is the pay £££££££££££££££££££££

Ive used artex sealer with good results, some suction control can be a right pain.

try and clean up as you go otherwise your just peddling muck about all day.

fix them it is. cheers lads.

Can you dot and dab thermal taper edge boards or should they be screwed to a framework. I just think it's only the 22mm foam holding the board.

1840 lime full on mate.

Pvc window fitters cause more problems to render then anything else. I live on the seaside and pebble dashed , rendering s+c with no problem and here we get winds from the east and Northerly blast . and looking at jobs 20yrs ago little tired looking but still doing the job. Try thermocromex...

south facing I would be thinking more about the sun cooking your render, why dont you think about a nhl mix .

Am afraid not zombie 50 a day , not sure about there work thou. Flynnman looked at a job last week ceiling and making good , but one of our local firms had been working the guy feck them off, it was dog rough and this firm you will have seen drive a long wheel base van with green lettering.

Not what you know mate but who you know, that's how you survive if that is the right word. Domestic is cut throat as site work. The big battle in your mind you hold the key to wealth or poverty your choice.

I know of a few who are working on £50 day when ask why they just say better then nothing. I think they are also getting working tax credits but saying nothing. For myself I know my worth and are worth a lot lot more then 50 day I always go the extra mile .

Do you think they say this to all trades john,

I clean arris of with a plastic scraper ive seen spreads clean down with there trowel which may tale the galv of the bead

I often think when folk telephone for a price what they think is the price they thought that it would be. They may get prices of friends on what they have had done and use it as a yardstick and so on. But sometimes I think they seem to think that plastering is no big skill and just a stepping to...

I can only think over the years the render is so dry from pvc windows and central heating. , I did a bathroom last week and on one wall which had the problem off patches of skim blown from the render, so when I re skimmed on these patches was small craze cracking on my first coat yet the top...

I get this a lot on houses built in the 1970.s on re skims when the wall paper has been taking off it lifts the skim coat off. The render is so dry it's hard to find anything which will control the suction on the render , pva a waste of time at present am giving it a coat of sbr leave over night...

It looks like a reaction between the nail and bead , how do you clean your beads off? and lets not forget some beads are just cheap and nasty to use, Ive stopped buying from wicks .

Well he has not got a milk crate . why do people not start from the top gets on my tits seeing people work that way.

Crack on with the scabbler mate ,takes an age to remove paint.

time is money mate, let's forget about the expanding rentals in old terrace built homes all they want is another sticking plaster over the problem. multi is king at present.

all done hope it helps.

Show us a picture of your trowel gibbo , your to much of a stone wall jackson .

Flipping heck he is a brick shitehouse love the scaff.

If you have the time plasprime and go the next day to skim,
