LOL, Turned up today to do an extension.....on a fooking caravan !, the whole thing is built off palets on the soil, will get some pics

Right oh, cheers, this fooker makes the wall so hot you can only keep your hand on it for a couple of secs !

Cheers Bobby, do the tiles get hot ?

Hi Guys, Fitted a wood burner 2 weeks ago in customers house, the walls had a re skim months ago, using PVA, and a bonding agent....[posh job eh !]...anyway, the plaster around the wood burner has blown, due to the heat, bearing in mind the wood burner is at least a foot of the...

What a load of b*ll***s !

Used this in mid 80s.......we finished it with a horizontal stroke on a farm house, it looked fooking shite !...farmer loved it !. looked like a very neat scratch coat.

It's caused by the boards, lets face it, you never get it on float and set work. If you look a the grey side of the board in the right light, you can see the ripples in the board. On the white side, its harder too see, but the ripples are there......that's my theory anyway.

As the title says ^

What part of Lanzarote are you in mate ?....as I live here also

Lets fook this job up !..............fill it with an old cement bag, then easy fill, then a strip of wood chip paper....it's a good'n :)

Agree, seen many hard wood door linings bow with this stuff..............fill it with sand & cement, then skim....being low level

Check the paddle for any sharp edges.....then file them off

Don't forget that the over spray will hit the existing , thus increasing the texture around the patch

Another one still learning how to use a trowel..............If it took any longer to put those reveals on, the customer would have charged him rent FFS !

Ah bless, this thread almost brought a tear to my eye .........he is in for a surprise in this game.....one born every minute, i was one of them !

Thank fcuk for that !........someone has realized the op has misses, and holes etc, which means he cannot skim properly.

Yep, they sell them here also, but don't fancy paying 400.00 euros for one..................just realized the thread is old !......FFS !

Will it mix screed, and concrete ?....if it does, might be interested ..........not sure how the fook I would get it to Lanzarote though !

How is it all free ?....nothing is free from government....... government cannot give to you, without taking from somebody else first.

Because low suction blocks will take longer to cure/dry

What happens if you let it dry completely, say a month, then skim it, and sucks like fcuk ?

Tried one of these a few weeks ago, just tore the surface up. The blade needs to be chamfered, like a pre, worn trowel.

probably blown on the beams, due to the steel rusting, you might have to treat the steel rods before you plaster.

Used the 1 metre spat for the last two days on multi, great for flattening down, not too sure on finishing with it yet, but early days. Gets the thumbs up for me. only down side is you have to look after the blade, any nick in it, it's fooked. Can you change the blades ?

There all the fooking idiots that went on a gold trowel course,........their forum was shyte........they ended up on here FFS !

^ didn't know refina did kids shovels

Also, buy the 80mill sds chisel from hilti. Hilti Online - Wide-flat chisel TE-CP SPME 8/18: Item number: 00282306

Might be the salt that has pushed the render off the wall. If the property is right on the sea front as you say, the wind and spray will have penetrated the brick work over many years. If it is a salt problem, it only pushes it off as it dries out, while it's ''damp'' (fook me did I just say...

Could you not just paint it with mineral silicate paint ?.....Also, how does it set ?

This has been covered before on here.........I was a member years ago.......Fools and their money eh !

Could he not use a bonding agent ?. then skim......he also says it's internal, not external.

I used it years ago, about 91, 93, at first couldn't get on with it, ...near the end of the setting time it just goes off quick, plus it's designed not too be polished, left as a matt finish, but we still gave it another trowel just to take the coarseness out of it. Good gear, and looks better...

That told him.....lol

You are not too bright, I did not say damp does not exist, what I said is, it cannot rise as you seem to think. Also you seem to be getting confused with damp, rising damp, and salt damp. As for you asking for a reason to prove my point, my point is based on experience, damp is caused by many...

Look mate, if you are that cocksure of yourself, post a vid, or make a vid. Why do we have to bet ?. As for meeting, you will have to come a long fooking way to see me, as i am in the Canary Islands. Will have to agree to disagree on the issue

That's hanging damp....lol

Rising damp.....worlds greatest con, if it's damp, find the course of the damp. It will not be rising. put any brick or block in water and see how high it rises..it won't. What about all the bridges that are made of bricks, that are in the water, that were built 200 years ago, do they have...

Paint some pva on the bottom of a clean black bucket, let it dry completely, then pour some water in the bucket and wait for 5, or 10 min.............It will go wet again, you will see it turn white. Reskims work wheather the pva is tacky or dry.

Might be wallpaper paste on the walls, if the case, fook all will stick to it until you wash the paste off

You could drive a bus through the gaps on the boards......useless cunnts !

''It will take 2 hours to do the ceiling''............It will take him 2 hours to to knock the fooking gear up with that drill !. He had some bonding work to do, he should have done that first, so it was going off, ready to skim, then skim the lot in two sets.

Make sure you rule it off !! ;)

Try here Spare parts for mixers, Original spare parts for mixing mechanisms, Nexmart and here Link Removed There should be no grease in the gears, as they are designed to run dry. I've got the C60, no probs as yet, 6 years and still going strong.

Anyone used one of those cardboard trowels yet ?....was told it's finished as you lay it on.

^ What a load of bolloks !

No mate, it's because they do not know how to do the fecking job !

So you are left handed Grand ?

If you are going to skim it, make sure you have sealed it well. This is a no, no, but can be done with the right prep work. You will know if it's going to go tits up when the first coat has been sitting there for a while, you will see bulges, bit like skimming plasterboard where the paper has...
