I use a trowel

As long as you like as long as it's not collecting dust, algae growth etc

Put them on before the insulation is fitted x x

Listen to daddy brown. Use a stone or the toe of an old trowel to get rid of the worst lines and then mix yourself a wet slurry mix of basecoat and apply to the wall as tight as you can putting more pressure on the heel of the trowel so you are leaving no lines. Any lines you have left just...

Never primed a mineral job in my life

Just bead the house straight not upright

I have hand applied smooth no problem!?. Finish with sponged parinter and paint

Thanks

Have you got a link from the supplier so I can try them pls

That's twice what I pay for the **** fixings. You're right worth every bean

Use hilti drills and bits. How much are you paying for a box of 200? Have you got a link etc from the supplier you use. I'm very happy to buy in bulk

Mapeis planitop 1.5 John

Morning lads, Can anyone recommend where to buy DECENT 180mm fixings with metal pins?. Really fed up using the crap that Parex, Mapei and the like specify as notated how well you drill the hole they rarely sit flat to the wall. The best ones I have used are the Marmorit fixings but you...

You're all mad. Use a mineral system then equalise with silicone, buy yourselves a decent diesel space heater and get the job done!.

I used stainless 15mm stop bead as they were for my fireplace. Just had a woodburner fitted with a stainless flue, handles etc so wanted to see an edge of a stainless bead against the slate. Yeah maybe I need to go back to college you cheeky cont lol.

No deal there bobby

I'll give you a grand for the fixings and a grand for the 60 rolls.

Hi guys, Having just fitted stainless stop end beads in my front room then floating out with hardwall and skimming I see on the web it says not to use stainless beading when using gypsum. Any ideas why?.

Yeah I do smart ass. Extend the roofline and verges!. Haha

Thanks. We are and always so fix them. We stick one day then pin the next but this is the first job I have even done where we have come in the next day and half the boards are on the deck

You paying for that Paul are you?

Erm no

It's ******* crap

My experience of matie is it sticks to anything!. The walls must be treated with some kind of weatherproofing agent

Yes it has. The walls are clean and dry

Have a very small refurb Parex Ewi job which is a hard to treat rendered and painted house. I had the lads stick the eps yesterday with maite as an adhesive and this morning the whole lot has popped off the wall. Any ideas lads?

Did you know that EML has to be fixed a certain way up. Most don't.

All thin coat systems are warranted on nudura, we have done loads.

All nvq courses are a joke. My wife could get an Nvq in plastering in a day probably and she can't even spell plastering. I have lost all confidence in the scheme.

You are missing something. Of course I send the damaged sheets back and request replacement but this slows the job down as it takes a week at least for them to sort it. What I really want is for the manufacture to give me a satisfactory reason to why I am getting more and more damaged sheets...

That's what I said to them but they wouldn't have it. They insisted it was due to being left in the sun. I told him to pull the other one.

You'll need to clad it in a carrier board of some sort then use the screw type mushroom fixings you fat cock

It can't be the sun. These sheets are seriously burned and not usable. Some are coming from the middle of the packs

Hi guys, Recently I have been having lots of what looks like fire damaged Ewi sheets within the sealed packs being delivered by my supplier. At first it was just the odd sheet here and there but the last order there was quite a bit. I have sent an email to kaymetzler and to my...

Hi guys, I have a large job coming up where the client wants Parex monerex gm sponge finished. I have scraped back plenty of this product but not sponged finished any. I would appreciate any tips from anyone who has sprayed and sponged finished this product.

And have I got a treat for you 8am monday

I regularly spray 100m2 plus with the ritmo, pretty sure we did 140m2 once well within an 8 hr day

Well Adrian de brief us all

Not sure that's correct John as all the systems are supposed to be fully breathable so any moisture should evaporate through the top coat

I'm going to truckman to have some bits fitted to the truck. I'll be up by dinner time and leaving lunch the following day

Hi guys, I'm going to be here on Wednesday evening if anyone fancies a beer 4, Narrowboat Way, Brierley Hill, West Midlands, DY5 1UF

Give me a ring paslode 07793748366. I'll help you out

Ades first post is only available to view by mods Danny.

I want to get you started Paul as in very interested on everyone's view. Get started please.

You'll not catch richy brown banging out ewi for £17m2. I'm far too slow and fussy. When I walk away from a job i make sure the client is delighted, the job is immaculate and fitted to spec and I'm happy to send future clients there to see our work and speak to the owner of the house to get...

So what would happen from a warranty point of view Ade. British gas told this fella he would have a 25year warranty. If the job fails and they find out it had failed due to poor prep work who is liable??? The polish subbie who is now back home? The main contractor who supposedly instructed the...

Evening guys. If like your views and opinions on this please. I have priced a few ewi jobs recently and have lost them to the likes of British gas etc who are part funding the work so the customer THINKS they are getting a bargain. The last job I lost involved removing and replacing...

I had to redesign the **** coach bolt entry system on the ritmo now in redesigning fittings. German *****

You know I'm right......

I ******* hate geka fittings and the wanky fittings on the material hose. They are lovely when it's warm and everything is clean but add cold hands and those wank geka fittings make me want to have a stroke and get a grain of sand on one of the lever cams on the material hose and it'll refuse...
