This is my question which is yet to be answered. We all know it wont stick to wet pva. And I've never seen someone bead first then pva. So do we have to pva. Let it dry then bead up?
Because they're brilliant maybe? Learns your routines and can be turned on when you're out so the house isnt heated when empty, but warm for when you come in. They're about £100 more than a decent thermostat. I bet we've saved that in 3 years by having the heating on exactly when we want.
As andy says if you're labouring properly. That's not learning to plaster. They're entirely different things. Especially at weekends. Its not a trade you just pick up. Either bite the bullet and work for a spread full time and just forget the s**t course you want to do (which it will be. They're...
He wants to watch, not labour. Wants a free education basically. To then become a competitor. But only on the weekend as he has work commitments in the week.
My pal told me about this forum. Thats how I signed up on here. The same pal told me about the above tool and how it was getting stick on here. He didn't listen to the masses and his tool disappeared into oblivion
As I said time and time again, people love a freebie. Then they will try it and say yes it may work. But so does everything else I've already got in the van. And a tenners worth of staples will probably do 100 times more beads than your tape
So you should know this tape is unnecessary and people wont want to spend a tenner on it. I honestly cant understand how you haven't worked that out yet. Between staples. Grab adhesive, Nails, dab, scrim and skim which are either extremely cheap or already on the job. Your tape is obsolete and...
I commend anyone willing to try and make something of themselves. Or introdice a new product. But you've got to look at the general consensus. It's expensive and unnecessary. People love a free sample. Thats why theres so much interest. You watch them drop like flies when they find out it's a...
You never answered my question anyway regarding pvaing. I've never known anyone bead before pvaing. So people who overskim must wait till its dry to stick your tape on?
Staples - perfect for board and alot of overskimming. £5 for 1000
Scrim - not the done thing really but it does work. £3 for...
I never searched it out. I am a member on a group and the post you wrote came up. Everyone inquires until it's a tenner a pop and is ready to use as long as you have scissors ready to cut it down. The majority of people seemed to be saying you could just use scrim, spray adhesive or staples...
I'm starting to think this tape is a wind up. You're being told over and over its pointless. Including on Facebook (yes i saw your cringy post) yet you refuse to listen to the people who do this day in day out. In all fairness. It's great entertainment.
We've all worked for blokes who stand here the whole time telling us
Yeah I used to work for plasterers when I was younger
I'd have done it myself but I'm too busy
Well this is what happens when they try it. You'll probably find your other work looks ok due to poor lighting, not the other...
No it could work. But the reason it wont is because he won't send out more than a handful of samples. Like owls said. You need a box of free samples at every merchants you an afford to give one to
I remember 1 job. Reskim a bungalow. All ceilings sound but cracked. Rescrewed every joists meshed the cracks with 100mm scrim and put fibres in 1st coat. All dried out and we were Fitting skirting boards and heard an almighty crack. Looked up and the ceiling cracked 1 end to the other. Couldnt...
Seems like common sense to me and evidently a few others, including yourself, but not the man trying to make money out of it. I have been to the merchants and given a whole box of those hook on beads (s**t by the way). But I gave them a good test. Imagine being given enough beads to do 1 window...
Nonsense. You're trying to get a new product Into the industry. A few hundred quid now will be peanuts if it takes off. Like limeplastering says above. BG gave him a whole pallet of finish to try and they would have given them to a fair few plasterers, costing them thousands. Jesus this is basic...
